Episode 2 takes a gothic turn as I follow in Dracula’s footsteps. From a pint at the Green Dragon and a quirky shop wander, to climbing the 199 Steps, exploring St Mary’s graveyard, circling the Abbey ruins and descending the Donkey Road — this was a day tracing the darker side of Whitby.

In Episode 1 of my Whitby adventure, I explore the town’s cosy accommodation, quirky shops, and sweet treats before tucking into famous fish and chips at Magpie’s. From fudge tasting to jet jewellery and a stop at Captain Cook’s statue, it’s a delicious introduction to Whitby’s shops, food and harbour life.
