If you ask me about the most recommended places in the UK, I will say “Whitby!” without thinking. The name seems to be rarely heard, and it cannot be included in many of the UK’s famous travel destinations. I deeply regret it. In my heart, it has the most beautiful coast and fishing village in northern England, but if you are interested in vampire culture, you may know this place. Today, I will introduce you to the landmark attractions of Whitby: Whitby Abbey "Whitby Abbey" Practical information: Address: Abbey Lane, Whitby, North Yorkshire YO22 4JT Opening hours: 10:00am-18:00om Tickets: Adult tickets £7.10, student tickets £6.40 About Whitby Abbey: Established in 657 BC, it is also one of the most famous ancient buildings in the UK. It is also a landmark in Whitby. Follow the 199 steps on the cliff to the top of the mountain to see the remains of the monastery. In the history of more than 1,500 years, the monastery has experienced countless wars. Although the ruins of the monastery are only left on the eastern coast, you can still feel the unique charm and history of this gothic building. The imprint left by history. Travel Tips: When you go to visit, you can go to Visitor Center to get an Audio Guide, and listen to the story of the abbey's past while visiting. During the epidemic, the abbey will not open the door. It is recommended that you wait until after the epidemic before traveling. Suggestions to wear: the impression of the overcast Whitby and the sunny day is very different. On cloudy days, the monastery gives people a cold and lonely feeling, everyone can match black, try the dark style is very cool. On sunny days, because the color of the monastery is dark (gray/dark brown), it is recommended that you wear brightly colored skirts, such as white or light yellow pink. It is recommended that you check the weather in advance before traveling. Play around: On the top of the monastery, you can overlook the Whitby Harbour. There are two long fan embankments at the far end of the harbour, and two lighthouses are one tall and one short. When the locals are fine, they take a walk in Whitby Harbour and blow the sea breeze. Under the monastery is the Whitby business district, and there are many special craft shops made by local British people. There are also colorful, numerous ice cream and candy shops.

    The solitary monastery on the cliffs, which Bram Stoke had seen, was so broken and vicissitudes that he gazed at the northern coastline. The towering columns and famous rib arches were so majestic and silently recounting what had happened.

    Whitby Abbey is on the outskirts of the country, a unique building that has been abandoned, and this monastery is also many years old, and it is still very hot to visit here, and this monastery has been through many years and through some history.

    A monastery built on the edge of a cliff by the sea has a history of many years, and this monastery is also a very good landscape, many places have been washed and sun-dried.

    Walking further is the ruins of Whitby Abbey. The monastery, which was built in 657, had a long way to go. It was destroyed by the Vikings more than two hundred years after it was built, then rebuilt, but it was destroyed again in 1540. After the fierce German artillery attack in 1914, the original ruins became even more fragmented. Yorkshire Cathedral can not be looked at, see the Whitby Monastery is really worth buying tickets into the careful scrutiny. The most striking thing is the arched porches, which are tall and deep, and the sense of dignity that people dare not face for a long time. Find a place to sit quietly and look at the witness of the vicissitudes of history, imagine the changes in history, and what kind of experience it will produce.

    Whitby Monastery is the ruins of a monastery built on a cliff near the sea. It has a history of more than 900 years. This is the birthplace of vampire fiction. The moonlit monastery and the church next to it at night make people feel gloomy and mysterious. Sitting on the grass at dusk, blowing the breeze, enjoying the endless magnificent sunset, it feels very good.

    On Whitby's coastal cliff, it looks very artistic from a distance. Tickets for 6.7 are better than those for more than a dozen pounds at Yorkshire Cathedral. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese voice guide.
