Fortune’s smokehouse is one of Whitby’s most famous businesses.The smokehouse sits under the cliffs, directly below St. Mary’s Church, and is located towards the end of a narrow cobbled street known as Henrietta Street, which can be found just beyond the199 steps which lead up to Whitby Abbey.

As you walk towards the smokehouse the aroma of oak wood smoke fills the air and your nose will lead you towards one of the last surviving traditional smokehouses in Britain.
