A historic fishing village on the east coast of England, Whitby is part of the county of North Yorkshire.

Now mainly supported by Tourism, Whitby is the location of the ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, accessed by climbing the 199 steps lead up from the preserved old town of Whitby. Whitby also hosts an annual Regatta, Folk Weekend and more recently a twice a year Goth Festival, the latter based on the town's association with Bram Stoker who wrote the Stage Play and Novel Dracula while staying in the town. Whitby is also home to a reproduction of James Cook's ship the Endeavour.
