Disabled 4 Star Holidays in Whitby

The Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby is dominated by the gaunt and imposing Whitby Abbey, founded in 657 by St Hilda and, in 2001, voted Britain’s most romantic ruin by readers of the BBC’s Countryfile magazine. Some of Whitby’s famous residents include Caedmon, England’s earliest recognised poet who lived in the Abbey, Captain Cook, Bram Stoker and his most famous creation Dracula, who landed in Whitby onboard a ship disguised as a black dog! As well as the tourist industry that has grown up around the Dracula-Whitby legend, you will also find a quaint harbour, fine eateries and marvellous places to stay. If you’re thinking of going on a disabled friendly holiday in Whitby, just make sure you don’t stroke any black dogs that you come across there!
