A fortress of stone rises from the cliff, silhouetted against the restless North Sea—Whitby Abbey, both beacon and battleground for over a thousand years, calls you to uncover Whitby’s wild secrets. On this self-guided audio tour, wander tangled lanes and climb wind-battered steps while untangling stories that most visitors never hear—legends hidden in every ruined wall and weathered grave.

Why did medieval kings choose these cliffs for a meeting that forever changed England’s church? Which mysterious presence inspired Bram Stoker to pen his world-famous vampire tale among crooked tombstones? What scandalous twist led wealthy families to abandon grandeur and let a stately home crumble?

Each step propels you through lost monasteries, political intrigues, storm-lashed scandals and moments frozen in time. Trace the rise and fall of dynasties with every gust of salty wind and watch Whitby shift from eerie legend to vivid reality.

Dare to walk where saints, poets, pirates and vampires left their mark—begin your adventure now.
