Whitby Abbey
@elensham
No trip to the north of England would be complete without a visit to these dramatic ruins on the headland that overlook the town of Whitby. Situated on the windswept east coast, Whitby Abbey has extensive ruins that provide a myriad of photographic opportunities. The town even provided some inspiration to the famous Bram Stoker for his acclaimed novel, Dracula!

This photo of Whitby Abbey was taken near Abbey Lane, on the other side of the brick wall, which runs alongside the Abbey. You can access this location by public transportation or you can drive to Abbey Headland Car/Coach Parking (54.486093, -0.604552).
When you get there, walk north along Abbey Lane for three minutes and then reference the GPS coordinates to find the exact spot where I took this image in front of the small lake.
