✨Day trip guide
✅Whitby
As the birthplace of Dracula, Whitby is also known as the hometown of vampires.
✨Whitby Abbey
The first stop is Whitby's landmark - Whitby Abbey.
Whitby Abbey was built between the 11th and 14th centuries. Today, the ruined building faces the east coast of England, with a whole cemetery facing the sea, the Gothic church beams reflecting the blue sky, full of desolation.
You can drive to the Abbey, or climb 199 steps from the town to the main entrance, overlooking the whole town from the top of the hill, the scenery is beautiful!
✨Whitby Harbour
After visiting the Abbey, you can stroll around the town, don't miss the no1 fish and chips here🍟
The whole of Whitby along the coast is scenic, especially the two long piers of the harbour, all the way there are various cafes and local specialty shops~
If you have time, you can also visit the Captain Cook Museum, Whitby is also the starting point of Captain Cook's voyage~
✅Saltburn-By-The-Sea
Half an hour's drive and you'll arrive at this town I love!
✨Colourful Houses
There's a row of colourful houses by the beach in this seaside resort town🌈
Facing the Atlantic in a line, it's great for taking pictures!
There are many snack bars and cafes along the beach, eating and drinking along the way, enjoying the leisurely holiday time~
✨Saltburn Cliff Lift
The most popular place in the town is probably the cliff lift here🚡
The best photo spot is on top of the lift, overlooking the entire red lift station from the hillside, with the Atlantic Ocean in the background, it's a magnificent sight.
The solitary monastery on the cliffs, which Bram Stoke had seen, was so broken and vicissitudes that he gazed at the northern coastline. The towering columns and famous rib arches were so majestic and silently recounting what had happened.
Whitby Abbey is on the outskirts of the country, a unique building that has been abandoned, and this monastery is also many years old, and it is still very hot to visit here, and this monastery has been through many years and through some history.
A monastery built on the edge of a cliff by the sea has a history of many years, and this monastery is also a very good landscape, many places have been washed and sun-dried.
Fantastic, historic, atmospheric, and highly recommended. Good size car park. Ruins are fully accessible and a joy to stroll around
great place in North Yorkshire with beach view and good sea food. Whitby abbey is so good
Walking further is the ruins of Whitby Abbey. The monastery, which was built in 657, had a long way to go. It was destroyed by the Vikings more than two hundred years after it was built, then rebuilt, but it was destroyed again in 1540. After the fierce German artillery attack in 1914, the original ruins became even more fragmented. Yorkshire Cathedral can not be looked at, see the Whitby Monastery is really worth buying tickets into the careful scrutiny. The most striking thing is the arched porches, which are tall and deep, and the sense of dignity that people dare not face for a long time. Find a place to sit quietly and look at the witness of the vicissitudes of history, imagine the changes in history, and what kind of experience it will produce.
Whitby Monastery is the ruins of a monastery built on a cliff near the sea. It has a history of more than 900 years. This is the birthplace of vampire fiction. The moonlit monastery and the church next to it at night make people feel gloomy and mysterious. Sitting on the grass at dusk, blowing the breeze, enjoying the endless magnificent sunset, it feels very good.
On Whitby's coastal cliff, it looks very artistic from a distance. Tickets for 6.7 are better than those for more than a dozen pounds at Yorkshire Cathedral. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese voice guide.
