What travelers say:
The solitary monastery on the cliffs, which Bram Stoke had seen, was so broken and vicissitudes that he gazed at the northern coastline. The towering columns and famous rib arches were so majestic and silently recounting what had happened.

Whitby Abbey Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
There are three types of monastic ruins in the world: ordinary monastery ruins, picturesque monastery ruins, and Whitby Abbey. Whitby Abbey is located on the East Cliff of Whitby, a small seaside town in North Yorkshire, England. The silhouette standing on the skyline is like a huge Gothic tombstone. This ancient and sacred building was built between the 11th and 14th centuries and is located in the center of the town overlooking the entire town. To get here, you need to step on the famous 199 steps up the side of the cliff. As you climb the steps up Whitby Abbey, you're bound to pass the equally spectacular St Mary's Church and its terrifying burial grounds, the latter a favourite for goth couples when they're in love. Whitby Abbey is more like a majestic movie location than a religious building. It's not hard to imagine why this colossal medieval building inspired the Victorian novelist Bram Stoker to make it the domain of Count Dracula during his holiday in Whitby, famous for writing about it. The vampire novel Dracula. The source of inspiration for the novel is Whitby Abbey, and the story scenes of this literary work also take place in the small town of Whitby.

The solitary monastery on the cliffs, which Bram Stoke had seen, was so broken and vicissitudes that he gazed at the northern coastline. The towering columns and famous rib arches were so majestic and silently recounting what had happened.
Whitby Abbey is on the outskirts of the country, a unique building that has been abandoned, and this monastery is also many years old, and it is still very hot to visit here, and this monastery has been through many years and through some history.
A monastery built on the edge of a cliff by the sea has a history of many years, and this monastery is also a very good landscape, many places have been washed and sun-dried.
Fantastic, historic, atmospheric, and highly recommended. Good size car park. Ruins are fully accessible and a joy to stroll around
great place in North Yorkshire with beach view and good sea food. Whitby abbey is so good
Whitby Abbey is a ruined monastery built on a seaside cliff, and has been around for more than 900 years. It is the birthplace of vampire novels, and the moonlit monastery and the church next to it are combined to feel a gloomy and mysterious feeling. Sitting on the grass at dusk, blowing the breeze, enjoying the endless magnificent sunset, it felt very good.
On the seaside cliff in Whitby, it is very artistic to see from afar. 6.7 £6.7 Tickets are more cost-effective than a dozen pounds of York Cathedral, but unfortunately there is no Chinese audio guide.
