and also the main whaling port for Northern England, Whitby is today a

of Whitby is dominated by the ruins of Whitby Abbey which stands high up on the east cliff. The famous 199
steps leading from the old town take you up to the church of St. Mary,
one of the finest Anglo-Saxon churches in the country, the graveyard of
which gave Bram Stoker the inspiration for his book
Dracula.
