Dracula, smugglers, golden beaches and kippers: where else but Whitby? Much more than just a quintessentially-English fishing port, Whitby's remote location on the far side of the North Yorkshire Moors has enabled it to preserve much of its unique identity and heritage into the 21st century.
While tourism may long since have replaced the sea as the town's main source of income, Whitby's inhabitants have lost none of the independence and pride that are central to their character and to Whitby's enduring appeal.
Situated on a geological fault, where the River Esk bisects the otherwise uninterrupted cliffs of the North Yorkshire coastline, Whitby's origins can be traced back at least 1350 years to the founding of Saint Hilda's Abbey in 657AD. The abbey was setup by Hilda at the behest of King Oswy of Northumbria, who upon winning the Battle of Winwaed had vowed that he would found a number of monasteries throughout his kingdom. As part of this vow, he gave his daughter, Aelfleda, to the monastic life.
The success of the original abbey was to be short-lived, as in 867 the abbey was sacked by the Danes, who were taking control of large parts of the region. Whitby survived this disruption, however, and in 1078 the abbey was rebuilt by the Normans to survive until 1539, when Henry VIII's policies forced St Hilda's Abbey to close for the final time.
In the centuries since its religious importance declined, Whitby has progressed from a small fishing port to a trading port of some regional importance, and finally to a major UK tourist destination.
Today, much of 18th and 19th century Whitby has been preserved and restored, and the town has a plethora of old and new attractions which draw visitors back, year after year.
Some of England's finest sandy beaches vie with Victorian gothic buildings, the legend of Count Dracula, major traditional music festivals, the religious heritage of the abbey and the spectacular beauty of the Yorkshire Moors to define Whitby's appeal. In truth, the town that was once Captain Cook's home has many assets, and it is the combination of these that give Whitby its unique and intriguing character.

Whitby Certainly is an Old Town With a Deep History and Still Retains Lots of Character Today By Alan Illingworth Davidson
In 656, in Anglo-Saxon times, Whitby was actually called Streonshal. This was when Osway was the Christian King of Northumbria and founded Whitby Abbey under its first Abbess, Hilda.
Over two hundred years later in 867, the monastery was brought to the ground by Viking raiders and was not rebuilt for over 200 years until 1078. It was during these times that the town actually established its current name of Whitby (from "white settlement" in Old Norse). Jumping much further ahead in time to the 18th century, Whitby became a town which was primarily focused around shipbuilding and whaling, as well as trading in Alum and the now famous Whitby jet. Whitby Abbey is one of the town's biggest tourist attractions and, situated on the East Cliff overlooking Whitby, provides fantastic panoramic views over the town, the harbour and beyond towards Sandsend.
One of the most famous characters associated with Whitby is Dracula, the central character of a book written by Bram Stoker, the famous author who was staying in Whitby at the time of writing. Dracula is widely considered to be one of the most famous Gothic figures ever created. Stoker was lodging on the Royal Crescent in Whitby whilst writing Dracula. In fact there is a blue plaque to commemorate this fact on one of the large imposing Victorian terraced properties.
It is well known that Stoker was influenced by the local surroundings whilst writing the book, featuring passages such as the ghostly ship Demeter pulling ashore with the huge black wolf pouncing from the deck into the darkness. Stoker based both the ship and the beast from ideas while talking to local townsfolk, who told him of the Russian ship Dmitri which, like the ship from the book, had previously been beached in the town's harbour. Local folklore often told of Barguest, the huge black phantom hound which was said to prowl the Yorkshire Moors, with a particular preference for the Whitby area. It was in the Whitby library that Stoker first came across the name Dracula, when he borrowed a book with the title An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, written in 1820 by William Wilson. This book included in one of its paragraphs Voivode Dracula which is the Voivode Dracula character in battle with the Turks. One item in particular caught the attention of Stoker: Dracula in the Wallachian dialect means Devil!
There is also a statue on the West Cliff of one of the town's most famous inhabitants, Captain James Cook. All four of Cook's ships were built in Whitby: Endeavour, Resolution, Adventure and Discovery and it was from Whitby that James Cook embarked on his journey to discover Australia.
The Captain Cook Museum is situated in a 17th-century house very close to Whitby Harbour, the location is where, as an apprentice, he had lodgings. It was whilst living in Whitby that Cook trained to be a seaman which ultimately led to his epic voyages of discovery.
So Whitby has much to attract tourists who like history, or merely enjoy the seaside town. It has numerous themed weekends throughout the year, such as the two Goth weekends, which see the town overtaken by people of all ages dressed in their fine black regal costumes. If you would like to see the up-and-coming events scheduled for the town; please look at the Whitby calendar of events.

Things to Do in the Historic Town of Whitby, Yorkshire. By Thomas Paylor
Whitby boats trips are a great way to see the town
You get a fantastic view of the town from the sea. The views of Whitby when you enter the harbour, facing the town are unique. You get great views of the Abbey and the west cliff and taking a boat trip you also get to enjoy a good bit of Whitby sea air.
One of the best boat trips has to be a trip on the replica Captain Cook Endeavour, you can book this trip on the west side of town, opposite the amusement arcades.

You can fish from many spots in and around the Whitby area. There are several species of fish available for you to catch depending on the time of year.There is no fee payable or licence requirement for shore and rock fishing.
Good baits can include lugworms, mussels and spinners Whitby has 2 good fishing tackle shops, these supply bait, rods, reels and accessories. Locals believe that peeler crab is a good bait in the summer, although this is hard to find.
Go fishing from a boat
Boat fishing is very popular in Whitby. Be prepared to be boat fishing for several hours, these trips are usually more than two hours long, and in some cases, you can be out for up to eight hours. Ask in the local fishing tackle shops for more information on these boat fishing trips. Talk to the 'professionals' on the quayside before you book. Always make sure that the required equipment is included in your package cost. If your away with a group then these boat fishing trips can be great fun.
Fishing from Whitby Piers
Whitby's West Pier is a delight for any summer angler, with spinners and lures seemingly favourites amongst those 'in the know.' Check the tide timetables before you set off, most of the fish are caught at high tide. In the autumn months, bigger fish such as cod can be caught from the pier. Anglers are prohibited from fishing into the harbour from the West Pier.
Go fossil hunting
Searching for fossils is a great way to spend a few hours while in Whitby. You can find Whitby Jet, reptiles and other ammonites while searching through the rocks and cliff faces. You can find several fossil hotspots in and around Whitby. Be wary of falling rock faces and shard rocks, take extra care with children. Before you go fossiling, make a note of the tide times, and always get back to the safety of land before high tide, at many places you can get cut off from the main beach at high tide.
Take a visit to the historic Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey dominates the town of Whitby from the east cliff. Its a great reminder of the early power of the church, a great piece of architecture.
Climb the 199 steps to the abbey to enjoy views of the unspoilt beauty of Whitby Harbour, the Esk Valley and the glorious Yorkshire coastline. The Abbey ruins themselves are a great inspiration to many people, even Bram Stoker, who based part of his well known novel "Dracula" on the inspiration from Whitby Abbey.
If that sounds little hairy scary, you could always have a stroll around one of the delightful gardens surrounding Whitby Abbey, not to mention one of the UK's best Youth Hostels next door to the Abbey, certainly Whitby Abbey is one of the most loved UK attractions.
Whitby Museum is full of history
The Museum is an independent Museum with many fantastic displays. Whitby Museum contains a wide varierty of displays that will keep both Adults and Children interested. Some claim that the museum is one of the most comprehensive in Yorkshire.
