 Whitby
|
|
|
Whitby,
a charming harbour town with steep streets and cobbled narrow
alleys in the east part of the town. The town is split into
two by the River Esk and the harbour, with a swing bridge
connecting the two parts.
The town
is the centre of "Whitby Jet" the black stone being
worked here for over 150 years, and it became popular in Victorian
times when Queen Victoria was in permanent mourning for Prince
Albert.
Besides
its fishing heritage, fresh fish available daily, it's claim
to fame is that the town is where Dracula come ashore in the
famous Dracula" book by Bram Stoker.
The churchyard,
of the parish church of St Mary, which inspired him is reached
by 199 steps from the harbour, all upwards!
The other
major "son" of the town is Captain Cook. James Cook
was an apprentice seaman here and the house is now a museum
dedicated to him. There is a bonze statue of him overlooking
the harbour.
Besides
the shops and harbour you can journey further afield, south
to Robin Hood Bay for fossil hunting, visiting the small fishing
village, and cliff top walks, or inland to the North Yorkshire
Moors and onwards to the Dales.
