Whitby abbey is well renowned for Dracula, the abbey is the beautiful ruins, however it costs a shocking £10.99 to get into. Understandable that it is a landmark, i think the price is extremely overpriced. The view from the top is amazing and you can access it from the 199 steps or the park and ride (£3.99 for 2h or £7 for 6h)

If you ask me about the best places to visit in the UK, I will say "Whitby!" and "Whitby" without thinking. The name seems to be rarely heard and it is not one of the most famous places in Britain. I am deeply sorry for that. In my heart it has the most beautiful coast and fishing village in northern England. But if you are interested in vampire culture, you might know this place. Today I'm going to introduce the Whitby Abbey: Whitby Abbey Practical Information: Address: Abbey Lane, Whitby, North Yorkshire YO22 4JT Open Time: 10:00am-18:00om Tickets: Adult £7.10, Student £6.40 About Whitby Abbey: Founded in 657 BC, It is also one of the most famous ancient buildings in Britain and Whitby's landmark. The ruins of the monastery are visible from the 199 steps up the cliffs and over 1500 years of history the monastery has experienced countless wars, and although it is now only the ruins of the monastery on the eastern coast, it still feels the unique charm and history of this Gothic building The imprint of history. Travel tips: when you go to visit, you can go to the Visitor Center to get an audio guide, while you listen to the past story of the monastery. The monastery does not open during the epidemic. I suggest you wait until after the epidemic. Dressing advice: the cloudy Whitby and the sunny day give a very wide impression. On cloudy days, the monastery gives a sense of coolness and loneliness, you can match black, try dark style very cool. On a sunny day, because the color of the monastery is dark (grey/dark brown), it is recommended to wear bright colored skirts, such as white or light yellow pink. It is recommended that you check the weather in advance before you travel. Surrounding: At the top of the monastery overlooking the Whitby Harbor. The far end of the harbor is two fan-shaped long embankments, two lighthouses one tall and one short. When the locals are fine, they take a walk in the harbor and blow the sea breeze. Down the monastery hill is the Whitby commercial district, with many British locals making special craft shops. There are also colorful, flavoured ice cream and candy shops.
The ruins of a lonely monastery standing on a cliff. When Bram Stoker saw it, he should have been so dilapidated, staring at the northern coastline. The towering pillars and famous ribs are majestic and profound, and they are silently telling the past.
Going further is the ruins of Whitby Abbey. This monastery, built in 657, had a tragic fate. It was destroyed by the Vikings more than two hundred years after it was built. It was later rebuilt, but it was destroyed again in 1540. After the fierce German artillery attack in 1914, the original ruins became more dilapidated. You don't need to see York Minster, but Whitby Abbey is really worth buying tickets to go in and take a closer look. The most shocking thing is the arched porches, which are tall and deep, and the sense of majesty makes people afraid to face it for a long time. Find a place to sit down quietly, look at this witness of vicissitudes of history, imagine the changes in history, what kind of experience will you have?
