  • We spent a day exploring Whitby, one of the UK's most iconic seaside towns that also has a uniquely weird and quirky side.
    Join us as we discover some of Whitby's must see attractions and landmarks from Whitby Abbey, the 199 steps and of course Whitby harbour. We follow in the footsteps of Bram Stoker with Whitby providing inspiration for his famous novel Dracula, from the Bram Stoker memorial bench to the grave of Dracula's first victim. We also pay a visit to some of Whitby's other mysterious and quirky locations such as the screaming passage and the Lewis Carroll garden.
    Of course Whitby is also famous for its food, especially the fish and chips so we can't resist a portion for ourselves. We also get our hands on a Whitby bun and visit a quirky Sherlock Holmes themed coffee shop.
    Whitby truly is a unique and quirky place!
    📍September 2023 in Whitby, England

    Whitby is such a magical place, been there twice in my life. No wonder Bram Stokes took such inspiration while there. You would have found it even better if you went during the Whitby Goth Weekend.

    The Goth weekends, April and October, are completely sold out every year, Whitby has some weird and wonderful things going on those weekends that have to be seen to be believed. I loved Whitby, but I wouldn't have wanted to go out after it starts to get dark! Especially when it's foggy!!

    You should have visited the museum and seen the 'hand of glory' and for a meal that isn't fish and chips you need to go to Humble Pie and Mash a 1940s themed cafe.

    Hi guys, ive just found your vids and you've been to places ive been to! So good to see whitby from your points of view! I love Whitby. You should do another trip here during the Goth Weekend.
    I last went to Whitby two years ago and had fish and chips on the pirate ship by the harbour.

      They also have a steam punk weekend too! That gets quite packed.
      Can I make another suggestion? Hastings. There's a lot to discover there from a true crime museum to the Smugglers Caves with their interactive underground passages. I think you two would find that fun!

    Lewis Carroll came to Whitby loads of times. The Walrus and the Carpenter is thought to have been inspired by his long walks on Whitby beach and theres a blue plaque outside the Rosa hotel (on the west cliff) where he stayed.

    Last time I climbed the 199 steps and tried counting them, some kids passed me and they were counting out loud so I lost count. The reason I was counting them that time is that on a previous climb I had only counted 198 both going up and going down.
    Did you try Beckett's Café on Skinner Street. Honestly my favourite place for home-made soup, a sandwich and home-made cake on the entire Yorkshire coast. They also do dog treats for people with furry friends.

      Also, Silver Street Fisheries is the best Fish and Chips Takeaway in Whitby in my opinion. An even bigger thing in their favour is that, as far as I am aware, James Corden has never set foot in the place!

    The Real Vlad Tepes Dracula is buried in Romania in his homeland. I know they say his body is not their as they found animal bones instead of his body, but it is nice to believe Count Dracula is alive and somehow roaming the world.. even though he is just a fictional charactor in a famous book! My womanly brain XD! whitby is beautiful no wonder Bram Stoker wrote that famous novel their it's a beautiful town!
