Whitby: Abbey
Description
The Abbey sits on top of the Eastern Cliffs, a brooding ruin overlooking the town and helping to give the haunting and slightly menacing feel that Bram Stoker was trying to portray in his books. Of course, visiting it on a lovely sunny day with a clear blue sky does slightly detract from the brooding nature. You can look around the site as it is taking in the information boards, or you can borrow an audio guide which does help with an explanation about the various uses of the site over time.
