Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has a maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
The earliest record of a permanent settlement is in 656, when as Streanæshealh it was the place where Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first abbey, under the abbess Hilda. The Synod of Whitby was held there in 664. In 867, the monastery was destroyed by Viking raiders. Another monastery was founded in 1078. It was in this period that the town gained its current name, Whitby (from white settlement in Old Norse). In the following centuries Whitby functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, the trade in locally mined alum, and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery.
The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour, which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers. The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of Captain Cook and William Scoresby, as well as the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff. The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
While Whitby's cultural and historical heritage contribute to the local economy, the town does suffer from the economic constraints of its remote location, ongoing changes in the fishing industry, relatively underdeveloped transport infrastructure, and limitations on available land and property. As a result, tourism and some forms of fishing remain the mainstay of its economy. It is the closest port to a proposed wind farm development in the North Sea, 47 miles (76 km) from York and 22 miles (35 km) from Middlesbrough. There are transport links to the rest of North Yorkshire and North East England, primarily through national rail links to Middlesbrough and road links to Teesside, via both the A171 and A174, and Scarborough by the former. As at 2011, the town had a population of 13,213.
Уи́тби (англ. Whitby) — город в английском графстве Норт-Йоркшир, Великобритания. Расположен на восточном побережье Британии у дельты реки Эск. Был основан нортумбрийским королём Освиу в 656 году, в IX веке разорён викингами, построившими на его месте деревню. Окончательно возродился лишь после нормандского завоевания. В XVIII столетии город стал центром рыболовного промысла, судостроения и добычи минералов (квасцов и гагата), вследствие чего начал быстро развиваться. На сегодняшний день основной статьёй доходов Уитби является туризм. По данным переписи 2001 года, в городе проживало чуть более 13,5 тысяч человек.

Hawsker Whitby Walks In North Yorkshire Moors Walks, England, UK
Hawsker Whitby Walks was about 10 miles in distance. The terrain of the route was a combination of a disused railway track; coastal and field paths; bridleway track, road sections and a quayside. The walking was mostly on level ground or gradual slopes except for two steep ascents and one steep descent. Route finding was easy with obvious paths, good waymarking and good landmarks. We took care whilst walking on exposed cliff tops. There were 7 stiles to negotiate.

A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY (WHITBY - SCARBOROUGH) (1966)
This film was made by railway enthusiast and filmmaker Frank Dean. Frank trained as an engineer during the Second World War, using his welding skills doing work for the War. But coming from a railway family -- his foster father worked on the railway and uncles were plate layers -- Frank got a job on the railway as soon as he could, in 1949. Church Fenton at that time was a major interchange of branch lines, and British Railways -- as it became with nationalisation in 1948 -- employed many in the village. He started out as an Assistant Lineman before eventually being head hunted by the Signal Engineering Department in the North East.

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. It is located within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk,
Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship.
Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed further on the arrival of the railway in 1839. 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.
Jet and alum were mined locally. Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
Whitby is situated on the east coast of Yorkshire facing the North Sea in a deep valley at the mouth of the River Esk. It has been a bridging point since at least medieval times and several bridges have spanned the river.
The current bridge, built in 1908, is a swing bridge with a 75-foot (23 m) span that separates the upper and lower harbours which have a total area of around 80.1 acres. The houses are built of brick or stone, often with red pantiled roofs, in narrow, steep streets, on both sides of the river.
The town is surrounded on its landward sides by the moorland of the North York Moors National Park and the North Sea abuts it on the seaward side.
The coastal areas are designated part of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast. This stretch of coast, known as the 'Dinosaur Coast', the 'Fossil Coast' or the 'Jurassic Coast', is around 35 miles (56 km) long, stretching from Staithes in the north, to Flamborough in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
At Whitby dinosaur footprints are visible on the beach

Whitby, North Yorkshire UK - A Place to See
Whitby lies in the county of North Yorkshire (UK) at the mouth of the River Esk.
Whitby was historically a Fishing village. Herring and whales being the main source of income and dates back to the Middle Ages.
The location itself is home to the ruins of the Famous Whitby Abbey. Records of the monastery and later Whitby Abbey date back to as early as 664 AD. There's a self guided tour of the Abbey (about six pounds from memory).
It is certainly worth a visit. You can feel the history in every stone and every step.
The location itself is awe inspiring, the tall cliffs and the North Sea crashing below. I fully understand how Bram Stoker was motivated to write Dracula (apart from wanting to eat).
