Sneaton Castle Whitby

On the outskirts of town to the west is the 19th-century Sneaton Castle built by James Wilson who sold his sugar plantation where he had over 200 slaves and moved to Whitby.

Alongside it is St Hilda’s Priory, the mother house of the Order of the Holy Paraclete.

The castle was used as a school and is now a conference centre and hotel in association with the priory.
