Whitby Abbey, English Heritage
Whitby Abbey is a remarkable and significant place, where learners can explore and investigate the past and are encouraged to scrutinise evidence and draw their own conclusions. The on-site Learning team are passionate about their site, and are working to continually improve the programme, creating high quality learning experiences with a learner-centred approach. Excellent use of handling objects, costume and immersive techniques all contribute to an engaging and thought-provoking Discovery Visit. Self-led groups can make use of high-quality resources that encourage observation and questioning. The learning programme at Whitby Abbey is grounded in the stories that the site has to tell, bringing the past to life for learners in accessible and inspiring ways.
