Whitby Abbey
Gothic ruin high on the East Cliff, with 1,300 years of history, a museum in Cholmley House and the view that helped inspire Dracula.
A short cliff walk to a dramatic bay with a shipwreck, back along the abbey plain.

Take the Cleveland Way south from the abbey car park along the cliff to Saltwick Bay, drop down through the holiday park to the beach if the tide is out, then return by the inland path across the fields to the abbey. Good for a first taste of the coast path.
