Whitby.
Salt air, Gothic drama and a harbour full of stories.
Whitby climbs from a working North Yorkshire harbour to the ruins of its famous abbey. Its locals bring together fish-and-chip traditions, cliff-top walks, independent shops and the small rituals that make a day beside the North Sea feel special.
