Whitby is a picturesque town on the north coast of Yorkshire, England. Famous as the home town of Captain James Cook (world explorer) and the place where Dracula landed in England, Whitby attracts millions of visitors each year for its heady mix of scenery, seaside historical heritage and fish and chips. Whitby is also home to "Whitby Lucky Ducks" glass ducks believed to bring luck to the owner.

A lovely and lively town. Cheap accommodation at the YHA hostel near the abbey's ruins. Beautiful beaches.
