Whitby Viewpoint by Discovering BritainDetails
This Viewpoint has been recommended by Discovering Britain.
In Bram Stoker’s novel, Count Dracula arrives in England by stormy shipwreck at Whitby. His reign of terror begins by stalking the town’s cliffs and over 120 years later, he still has a unique hold over the town.
But keen vampire hunters and relaxing holidaymakers alike often miss one of Whitby’s most striking features.
With the lighthouse behind you, look at the cliffs on either side of the harbour. The East Cliff (left, below the Abbey) looks like a high grey wall, while the West Cliff (right) appears to be a bumpy orange cluster. How do Whitby’s different cliffs reveal a story more dramatic than Dracula? - follow the link below for the answer...
