Whitby Abbey

Looming high above the seaside town, Whitby Abbey has provided over a thousand years of inspiration from the earliest Anglo Saxon poet to the world’s most famous Gothic novel. Climb the steps to the abbey from the town of Whitby to explore romantic ruins and take in incredible sea views. Behind the classical frontage of the Cholmley family’s mansion, discover fascinating finds from the abbey’s most important periods. Dogs are welcome on leads at Whitby Abbey, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula and is a must visit.
