Whitby is a charming seaside town of the east coast of North Yorkshire famous for its vampire legends and impressive whalebone arch. The River Esk splits the town in half, with the majestic Whitby Abbey on the East Cliff, a dazzling Gothic ruin steeped in history and the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’, and to the West is West Cliff Beach, with golden sands lined with beach huts. For a challenge, you can climb the 199 steps to the Abbey and the Church of St. Mary. At the top, there are incredible views across the North Sea, and you can stop to watch the brightly coloured fishing vessels on the horizon.
