Whitby has changed very little since featuring in Bram Stokers "Dracula", an ancient port with a working harbour and ruined abbey not to mention sandy beaches with donkey rides, amazing ice cream and fantastic fish and chips.
The town is divided by the River Esk with a ”swing-bridge” across it which lifts to let larger vessals through.
There is so much to do in and around Whitby but we'd have needed weeks to see it all. Here's my pick of what to do when there if you only have a day.
