Whitby is a seaside town on the north-(0) EASTERN (EAST) coast of England, which 1DOUBT has a charm and character not found in many places. Standing in the harbour are relics of the past that help illustrate its 2REMARK history.
On the West Cliff stands the arched upper jawbone of a whale, reflective of Whitby's strong fishing tradition and the still evident community of 3FISH. On the East Cliff, you can climb 199 steps up to the ghostly ruins of Whitby Abbey and the 4MAGNIFICENCE St Mary's church and graveyard, which stand side by side, silhouetted against the dramatic clifftops and stunning Yorkshire moors.
Indeed, it is here that Bram Stoker's 5FAME vampire Dracula is said to have first landed on English soil. This is commemorated by a tourist attraction which includes exhibits that 6COUNT his story and legend.
No visit to Whitby would be complete without having fish and chips, making it 7DEFINE a place worth visiting to enjoy the more old-fashioned Great British seaside holiday. Newer 8ADD to the town are an eclectic mix of vintage shops and cafés, amongst other things.
