Whitby Storyteller on TV & Radio

In recent years I've had the pleasure of filming for a number of TV programmes, including Jonathan Ross' Myths and Legends, Joanna Lumley's Home Sweet Home, Meet the Richardsons, Susan Calman's Grand Day Out, and Antiques Road Trip on BBC.

Joanna was so lovely, she left me this wonderful message:

"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you in St Mary's graveyard yesterday and hearing you speak so movingly and fascinatingly about Whitby and faraway times."
Joanna Lumley

And Joanathan was kind enough to say this:

“Meeting Rose the Storyteller was quite amazing... her knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the subject made me realise just how vital and important those old mythologies once were and perhaps will be again... I came away feeling it is a genuinely magical place.”
Jonathan Ross

Let the Whitby Storyteller Be Your Guide

I offer private and exclusive guided walks in Whitby, including the Whitby Ghost and Dracula Walk. Plus the ever popular Robin Hood's Bay Ghost Walk where you can just turn up on the night! 

Choose the walk for you and enjoy a special experience in ancient and storied surroundings. Enter the world of the strange and supernatural on a Ghost Walk or discover extraordinary facts and legends on the Guided Walking Tour of Whitby which has gained five star reviews. 

I am a Whitby guide who was born here. I have a lifetime of local knowledge and anecdotes, amazing stories and information about the area. I pride myself on providing my customers with the highest standard of experience, which I hope will be both enjoyable and memorable.

See Ghost Walk Times for the Robin Hood's Bay Ghost Walks - no need to book, just turn up - or book your own private Whitby Ghost and Dracula Walk, Guided Walking Tour of Whitby, or choose from any of the other walks.
