This seaside town in the North York Moors has more to offer than the average English seaside resort. For a start, Whitby is home to the majestic Whitby Abbey, which overlooks the historic old town with its narrow cobblestone streets.
Whitby has also been home to many famous people including Captain James Cook and writers Bram Stoker and Lewis Carroll. Visitors to Whitby can see the Captain James Cook Memorial Museum and the Whitby Museum also has exhibits about Captain Cook.
