About

Whitby West ward encompasses the western portion of the historic fishing port of Whitby, stretching inland from the River Esk up onto the West Cliff. The area includes the town's railway station and a mix of residential streets, local retail, and light industrial units. The dramatic headland of the West Cliff is a defining feature, offering sweeping views across the harbour mouth and out to the North Sea.

The ward contains the iconic Whalebone Arch on West Cliff, a monument to Whitby's maritime heritage. It is a primarily residential area with several schools and community facilities serving the local population. The landscape transitions from the bustling harbour side to quieter, green spaces and the open moorland of the North York Moors National Park at its western edge.
