It a wonderful getaway for those interested in art, geology, hiking and exploring the outdoors. Just down the road, you can enjoy the fabulous seaside resort of Whitby, famous for its connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Captain Cook and also famous for its outstanding fish and chip restaurant, The Magpie Cafe. Whitby’s charming, quirky, narrow cobbled streets are brimming with independent shops and numerous eateries and pubs. The majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey overlook the town.
