Whitby

Whitby is a real gem on the North Yorkshire coastline. Still one of the best places to get real Yorkshire fish and chips. The town is a wonderful combination of medieval winding little streets full of history. The pictures of Whitby abbey show some of the impressive architecture.

The town provided the inspiration to Bram Stoker, for the famous novel Dracula, looking at the pictures of Whitby Abbey with it's gothic atmosphere it's not hard to see why. Whitby provides an ideal place to explore the rugged North Yorkshire coastline and indeed the North York Moors. The town is split in two by the River Esk. The older side of town is to the East whilst, the 19th Century town grew up on the Western Side.

Whitby Abbey
Built in the 11th Century the Abbey, is a marvellous piece of architecture; With soaring arches and huge pillars.
