Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Whitby
The Abbey, the harbour and vampires are probably most people’s perceptions of Whitby, a historic seaside town and fishing port on the beautiful North Yorkshire coast. Whitby holiday cottages come in all shapes and sizes, from converted fishermen’s cottages to swanky sea-view apartments. Whitby’s skyline is dominated by the striking hilltop ruins of St. Hilda’s Abbey, which overlooks the bustling harbour around which clusters the old town of Whitby. The town is a maze of alleyways and tiny streets made famous by the images of the photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. The picturesque fishing harbour is home to a wide range of sea-going craft, from traditional fishing cobles and yachts to North Sea trawlers and cargo vessels. The writer Bram Stoker was inspired by the churchyard of St Mary’s, the parish church, to write Dracula, forever associating this town with gothic tales.
