Never been to Whitby. Is it worth visiting? 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a lovely relatively local getaway. I can't wait to go back. Literally first holiday we're planning post-pandemic. Friend of family runs a B&B there so we've been a few times over the years to stay over. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Last time we went, it was the cooooooooldest windy and eventually rainy day, we went up to the Abbey to see Dracula being retold by actors and actresses who had clearly done this act hundreds of times in all sorts of weather, using all sorts of improvised tools to keep their less firmly fitted clothing attached to them 😄 it was still an amazing experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes agree lovely place Whitby stayed at a B&B a number of times over the years, goth weeks good a lot of effort and money goes in to those outfits. Link to post Share on other sites

Best fish & chips I ever had. They also have waffle stalls (used to have bananas, cream and syrup on mine). Even though it was always busy, it still had that quaint fishing town vibe...very picturesque. You can visit the abbey (if you don't mind the uphill walk) and learn everything you ever wanted to know about Dracula (apparently it was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel). You can also get boat rides that go a short way out of the harbour and back. Blackpool's nice...more your drunken weekend kind of place. Whitby is better if you want a more relaxed getaway (not to mention closer). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,039 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Definitely an experience... think there is a little more attention to Health and Safety since the well-publicised accident. Very lucky that copious amounts of beer were close by to put him out. Read somewhere that he was one of Bowie's inspirations, so in his own way, a bit of a pioneer 1 Link to post Share on other sites
