Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in England.
Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey.
Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period, Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by its proximity to the high ground of the North York Moors National Park, its Heritage Coastline and by its association with the horror novel Dracula.
