The Whalebone Arch and the Captain Cook Memorial in North Yorkshire are two iconic landmarks of the region. The arch, erected in 1853, is a striking limestone monument dedicated to the captain of the Whitby Lifeboat who, along with his crew, risked their lives to save over 50 people from capsized ships. The Captain Cook Memorial was built in honor of the famous explorer Captain James Cook, who was born in the town of Marton in North Yorkshire. It stands 39 feet tall and is surrounded by gardens. Visitors can explore the area, including a nearby beach, where you can enjoy stunning views of the coastline and cliffs. There are also several cozy pubs and cafés nearby, making this a perfect spot for a picnic lunch.
