Whitby
Whitby is a characterful harbour town on the North Yorkshire coast, where the ruined abbey on the East Cliff inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. Wander the cobbled streets and the 199 steps, tuck into famous fish and chips, and watch fishing boats bob in the harbour. With sandy beaches, the whalebone arch, Captain Cook heritage and the North York Moors on the doorstep, Whitby mixes Gothic atmosphere with classic seaside fun.
Few seaside towns have quite as much character as Whitby. Perched where the River Esk meets the North Sea, this North Yorkshire gem is watched over by the dramatic ruins of Whitby Abbey—the Gothic inspiration behind Bram Stoker's Dracula. You can climb the famous 199 steps, lose yourself in narrow cobbled lanes filled with cozy cafés and jet jewellers, or take a stroll along the sandy beach and its rows of colourful huts. It's also where Captain Cook learned his trade, and his legacy still lingers along the quayside today.
