The ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey stand on the East Cliff, high above the narrow streets of the Old Town. From these streets you can climb the 199 steps to St. Mary's church and churchyard, made famous by its association with Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula. If you have an interest in Dracula this can be indulged at the Dracula Experience, or by joining one of the Dracula Ghost Walks.

Bark Endeavour, a replica of his sailing ship, or the sailing ship Grand Turk that have visited Whitby. The whalebone arch on the West Cliff displays Whitby's past whaling importance and that of the Scoresby father and son, whaling masters.
