Whitby‘s atmospheric cliffs and shadowy lanes provided the eerie inspiration for one of literature‘s most enduring monsters. On this atmospheric audio tour, you‘ll follow in the footsteps of Bram Stoker, exploring the very locations that sparked his imagination as he crafted Dracula during his 1890 visit to this coastal town.
The self-guided tour begins at Number 6 Royal Crescent, where Stoker lodged during his fateful stay in Whitby. You‘ll stroll through the picturesque Royal Crescent gardens before making your way down to the seafront. As you walk alongside the crashing waves, across Whitby Bridge, and through narrow medieval passages, you‘ll discover how this seemingly serene fishing town with its melancholic air influenced Stoker‘s gothic masterpiece.
