Whitby

Whitby is home of Bram Stoker, and Dracula, departure point for Captain Cook and a place of immense Yorkshire charm. Whitby is a wonderful beside-the-sea town.

Many shops selling Jet semi-precious stone wear, crab and shellfish are widely available and famous fish & chip restaurants - not to be missed!

Whitby Abbey is perched on top of a cliff overlooking the harbour. The flight of steps leading up to it are tiring - 199 see if you can count them - but you have a tremendous view once you've got there.

Whitby has a colourful harbour with lots of fishing boats.

A common sight is the opening of the bridge which spans the harbour to let bigger ships in and out.

There is the lifeboat house which can be viewed by the public and the fish quay where there's lots of activity early in the morning when the fish is landed.
