West Cliff Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Early morning start to the day for a sunrise in Whitby North Yorkshire late winter but a great start to a day. A cold early morning in this location is the best to wait for the sunrise at it will rise just below the Abbey Cliff in the distance. The famous abbey which is standing out on the other side of the river Esk. A number of seat in this area for a relaxing sit down but not many people about because of the cold. Best part of the day.

A perfect frame.
Royal Crescent in Whitby, England, is the first half of George Hudson's dream of outdoing Bath. Unfortunately, before the crescent could be completed, Hudson's fame and his money ran out. At the Royal Crescent was the home where Bram Stoker stayed in 1890 in which he started to write his most famous book, 'Dracula', setting much of it in Whitby. #InStone #Golden #OnTheRoad
