Whitby Abbey, in Whitby, is probably most famous for its prominent role in Dracula and the 199 steps that lead up to the abbey from the town.
I like this shot for some reason. It gets across the desolation of the abbey, even though you can see the town in the background to the left.

Wow, that looks amazing. And definitely like something out of Dracula!

Well, to me, anything related to Dracula and the history of, is a pure treat. Creepy castle and perfect for fall reading – spooky!

Gorgeous and desolate although it’s hard to match the desolation of Castle Tioram.
Great photo.

How very Gothic!
Denis and I are planning a trip to the UK in 2013, and this time I definitely want to get to Whitby Abbey. That place oozes atmosphere!

Great photo. Even with the town there, it still looks lonely.
Great shot. Really sums up why this location is so perfect as a back drop for a story like Dracula. Would love to visit there myself sometime.
