1. Whitby - Yorkshire
One of the most picturesque ports in England, Whitby and its harbour are set in a ravine at the mouth of the River Esk. Dominated by the cliff top ruined Abbey, the narrow alleys and quaint streets climb down to the busy quayside, with its harbour side houses and small shops filled with crafts, curios, and antiques.
Its churchyard is famous for providing the setting which inspired Bram Stoker to write his classic novel - Dracula. Dickens and Tennyson are also known to have enjoyed the hospitality of Whitby's ancient inns.
Whitby’s combination of fine beaches, quaint streets, busy harbour and variety of scenery and attractions for all ages make it a particularly special holiday destination.
