Wonderful Whitby

Whitby is a picturesque seaside town situated on the Yorkshire Coast with quaint streets leading to the harbour which are now filled with curios, antiques and small gift shops.\n\nFrom these centuries' old streets, 199 steps lead up to the parish Church of St Mary, one of the finest Anglo-Saxon churches in the country, featuring carved pews made by ship's carpenters and craftsmen from Whitby's once booming whaling fleet.\n\nIts churchyard is famous for providing the setting which inspired Bram Stoker to write his classic novel - Dracula. Dickens and Tennyson are also known to have enjoyed the hospitality of Whitby's ancient inns.\n\nWhitby is well known for its jet, a hard-black mineral dug from its cliffs since Victorian times and fashioned locally into jewellery and ornament. Its famous Smokehouse still operates, converting herring to kipper by the traditional process.\n\nA bustling and colourful working port, Whitby offers fishing trips by boat or from the pier.\n\n
