For those wishing to visit the many attractions that North Yorkshire has to offer, Whitby is an ideal location for a relaxing visit. Whether it is Goathland (Aidensfield from the TV series 'Heartbeat'), the seaside town of Scarborough (the setting for the TV series 'The Royal'), the North York Moors Steam Railway, the historic attraction of York or the setting for TVs Brideshead Revisited Castle Howard. North Yorkshire has something for everyone. 3D Panorama - Whitby Harbour. 3D Panorama - Whitby Abbey. Captain Cook Tourism Association. North York Moors National Park. Yorkshire Tourist Board. Whitby is an ancient fishing port that nestles between the North York Moors and the North Sea at the mouth of the River Esk. The town's skyline is dominated by the ruins of St Hilda's Abbey, high on the East Cliff. Spreading below, a maze of alleyways and narrow streets run down to the busy quayside. From the old town, 199 steps lead up to the parish church of St Mary, one of the finest examples of Anglo Saxon churches in the country, and whose churchyard gave Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book, Dracula. Whitby has produced it's own famous sons. Among these are Captain James Cook, the 18th century explorer and voyager, the outstanding father and son whaling masters of the Scoresby family and pioneer photographer, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. The small fishing town of Whitby is part of the Heritage Coast of North East England. The town has a thriving holiday resort trade, which was the focus of nationwide and global news. Having a unique old world charm, for centuries Whitby has provided a safe haven for shipping and fishing fleets. It was once the main whaling port for the North of England. Situated on the estuary of the River Esk, Whitby is divided into an East Bank and West Bank, connected by a swing bridge. The current bridge was constructed in 1909, but the original bridge was known to exist as far back as 1351.
