Whitby – North Yorkshire Coastal Town

Whitby on Tuesday was warm but wet – still holiday season but a little quieter as visitors looked for indoor entertainment.  The harbour and fishermen were busy. The Abbey which overlooks the harbour and town from a cliff top, stood proud, as it always has.  Observing the Abbey ruins in the mist, helps to understand Bram Stokers inspiration for his famous works.
