If there’s one thing that sets the warmer months apart it’s the amazing array of sunsets which grace the nation’s landscapes on a summer’s evening. Here are some top sunset locations in the UK close to YHA hostels.
YHA Whitby
Located right next door to Whitby Abbey, our Grade I-listed mansion on the headland enjoys remarkable views of the ruins and down to the harbour below. And when better to visit than summer time! Descend the 99 steps to browse quirky shops, scoff fish and chips, play the amusements, and enjoy the long sandy beach beyond.

YHA Rowen
Removed from the rest of civilisation, this converted stone farmhouse occupies a lofty perch at the top of a hill in North Wales. It’s the highest building as far as the eye can see and grants yawning views over the Conwy Valley. What a place to relax! Plus, with Snowdonia and Anglesey within easy reach, it’s a great place to base an activity break or family holiday as well as a top sunset location.
