How to find Driftwood Den Cottage
Other Free Parking Spaces
⚓ If you keep driving straight on just before you head up the incline and over
the bridge known as Spital Bridge there is a pull-in to the right - again this little curved side street is all free parking if there’s a spot - it is a little tight and please remember the river is tidal so you don’t want to park on the slipway! - this is less than 5-minute walk to the cottage.
⚓ Alternatively as you pass the alleyway to the cottage you could keep driving
straight on then take the first road left onto Green Lane - this is a residential area and you will likely find a free parking spot up here.
If you park up here head towards St Hilda’s Business Centre as there is access to Salt Pan Wells steps from here.
WHITBY CAR PARKS
⚓ All charge approximately £11/24 hours.
⚓ If you are staying more than 3 nights you can pre-book a ticket at the tourist
information or call in non-arrival and pre-pay for the number of nights you need - you can then use this ticket in most car parks in the Scarborough area which is ideal if you plan to explore outside of Whitby.
⚓ TOP TIP you may find it easier to park up and then call a taxi to deliver you straight to Salt Pan Well Steps!
Abbey Car Park
If you take the Green Lane turning you will be heading up to Whitby Abbey which has a Car Park
Church Street Car Park
You passed this initially when you collected the keys from the pub - top tip hang about and be patient as people come and go all the time.
Endeavour Wharf Car Parks
If you haven’t found a spot the bigger car parks are on the other side of town which is actually only a 10/15 minute walk from the pub and perhaps 20-30 minutes from Driftwood Den Cottage providing you’re not tempted to call at the many pubs you will pass!
If you need a Taxi from where you’ve parked please download Taxi Caller or use these numbers during your stay.
The Taxi Caller App is used by the smaller cab firms in Whitby and simply allocates you the next available taxi - the postcode for Salt Pan Well Steps is YO22 4AB. You may want to add Riverside Fisheries in the notes and wait there to be collected.

⚓️The keys to Driftwood Den can be collected from The Endeavour Pub, 66 Church Street, Whitby , YO22 4AS
⚓️The Pub is located on the east side of town which is the side where you will find Whitby Abbey and the old town of Whitby.
⚓️It is double yellow lines outside the pub but you will be fine to pop in and collect your keys.
⚓ From the Pub turn left and head out of Whitby town centre, the cottage is located just off the same street as the pub a few minutes' drive away.
⚓ You will pass Church Street car park on your right
⚓ You will then pass the Fleece Pub also on your right.
⚓ Keep an eye out on the right-hand side of the road here after the bus stop as this is all free parking and you may want to pull in and park up here and walk or call a taxi with your luggage if you spy a space!
The spaces before the bus stop are max 40 minutes so please do not get caught out!
⚓ Continue driving the next landmark will be The Middle Earth Tavern on your left closely followed by the red garages of Wilsons' fruit and vegetable merchants.
⚓ Just after the red garages the first alleyway on the left is Salt Pan Well Stepswhich lead up to Driftwood Den Cottage, look carefully the angle of the buildings may mean you miss it!
⚓ Again this is still all free parking on the right hand side of the road until the next bus stop so keep your eyes peeled.
⚓ If there are 2 of you may wish to pull over where you can unload the luggage here whilst one of you parks up.
⚓ There is a wide footpath just a bit further along outside Riverside Chippy which many people pull on to, to collect their chippy tea so you should be fine if you’re not too long but obviously there are parking wardens in Whitby so I would advise one person stays with the car!
⚓ TOP TIP it’s an amazing Fish & Chip shop that all the locals use! Take away only & limited tea time and Friday / Saturday frying times so check the window for times!
⚓ Access to the cottage is just the first set of steps (15), here you’ll turn right into our quaint little hidden abyss of tranquility!
⚓ Driftwood Den Cottage is under the stairwell!
⚓ The Patio area is located to the left and the grassed area is just beyond this.
