Whitby
This beautiful town is surely one of our favourite and has lots to offer!
If you visit Whitby you will not be disappointed, especially if you are a fan of Bram Stoker, as it’s here that Dracula was born. You can visit the bench where it is said the Bram Stoker was inspired.
Walking around Whitby you can go and visit St.Mary’s church and the magnificent Whitby Abbey after having climbed the challenging 199 steps.
Another thing that is worth a visit is the whalebone arch which allows you to see the abbey and the church on the opposite cliff.
Keep an eye on the website as in winter there might be an ice skating rink where you can enjoy skating for a couple of hours.
