Get to know Whitby Abbey. This abbey was one of the inspiration elements for the famous writer Bram Stocker in his masterpiece "Dracula". In fact, the descriptions of Carfax Abbey in London correspond stone by stone with this abbey. Destroyed by the famous Henry VIII Reformation but still contemplating its splendour, on top of a hill from which you can see the sea. On stormy days, with the sea rough and the wind doing its thing, it's not hard to imagine what inspired Stocker to write his work.

Make a tour of the town of Whitby that in addition to its port and its beaches, you will discover a charming fishing village, where you can taste excellent fish and stroll through its streets, many of them up or downhill.

After climbing a hill with 199 steps, you will see next to the ruins of the famous abbey the church of St Mary the Virgin the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, with a Norman Romanesque plan and scraps, but with several subsequent renovations and additions in the 18th century. As it is usually characteristic of the area, next to the church you will find the huge cemetery, which greatly favours the landscape

This bridge sits on both sides of the River Esk. From the 14th century, King Edward III authorized the retention of a toll right and different structures were replaced until the construction of the first drawbridge in 1830.

This lighthouse marks the entrance to the harbour, it was built in 1831 under the command of Colonel Cholmley, Lord of Whitby. You can visit it, but you have to pay entrance. What marks the plus, when you look from this lighthouse, is the way the stone seems to be carved by the elements. In fact, the rock used to build is not very resistant to the ravages of time, and we can see the traces it leaves two by wind and water on the surface of the wall
