Yorkshire has something for everyone and in
historic fishing resort of Whitby.... on a steep wooded inlet of the River Esk, offers a delightful combination of fishing port and tourist centre. The ancient town of Whitby has been the scene of the Synod, held at the Abbey of St Hilda; nurtured Caedmon, the first English poet; has fostered the genius of Capt Cook and his sailing ships, built in the town; fathered the abilities and bravery of the Scoresby family, the finest sailors and whalers of their day; hosted authors the likes of the great Charles Dickens and Bram Stoker author of "Dracula". |

York..... Minster, just a few minutes drive from Whitby, is the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, apparently! 1000 years old, overwhelming medieval architecture, breathtaking stained glass windows, gothic arches and much more. A visit to York Minster has to be part of your visit to Yorkshire. |
