About

Whitby is a charming seaside town located on the northeast coast of England, within the county of North Yorkshire. Known for its stunning coastal views, historic sites, and vibrant fishing community, Whitby offers a rich tapestry of cultural and natural attractions. Dominating the skyline is the hauntingly beautiful Whitby Abbey, a 7th-century Christian monastery that inspired Bram Stoker's "Dracula." The town is also famous for its delicious seafood, particularly its fish and chips, as well as its role in the whaling industry during the 18th and 19th centuries.
