There is so much to see and so many experiences to sample from times of a by-gone era as well as up to the present with epic hikes across this rugged landscape carved out by the glacier period in history.
This rugged landscape is traversed by the famous Yorkshire steam railway. Be on your best behaviour too as you wouldn’t want to be stopped by the “bobbies” from Heartbeat! As the nights draw in, beware also of the legend of Bram Stokers Dracula. As you gaze up at the derelict Abbey on Whitby’s cliff top you may just catch a glimpse of a bat resting in the ruins as darkness descends.
