Whitby is amazing, I attended the Whitby Goth Festival twice yearly for over 8 years dressed in Victorian Gothic fashion. It is an amazing place. The great-grand nephew of Bram Stoker, Dacre Stoker, did a book signing there last week. It has a fantastic feel and is full of history. You must go and visit if you can.
The spookiest place I've been to? Walking through a deep forest at night as a kid with the nearest village being about 1.2 miles away and my hometown being 6 miles away.
I'm local to Whitby, and was great to see people enjoying themselves here, hope you visit again, I work at one of the restaurants here, and see so many people pass through every year. It's a great day out here 🙂
Whitby is not just famous for Bram Stoker's Dracula it also claim to fame Captain James Cook lived in Whitby and it was also a whaling port in the 17 and 18 hundreds and it's most claim to fame is the beautiful Whitby Abbey that stands above this beautiful seaside town
Loved seeing the sunset over the bay. it does have a creepy vibe. Those tomb stones especially. Great video. COuld you watch our latest video as we' love to hear your thoughts as well. Thank you.
How can people hit the dislike button on this. Pathetic some people are just horrible. Whitby is a fantastic place to visit value for money and so much history it would definitely fill your wkd break with change to go home with. There is so much more to Whitby than Dracula.
That's only half the story of Bram S. For the other half you'll need to go and investigate Dublin his home town. You might find it very interesting. We have a place in Whitby by the way, and visited Dublin, to find this out.
Love you guys...been to Whitby twice now.i'm surprised Alex didn't mention the world famous fish and chips,we all know how much he loves his food. That Dracula experience was more like a nightmare lol. When are you guys off to turkey?
As it's on the East coast of England it seems odd that the sun sets over the sea, but in summer it actually does. In fact it both rises and sets over the sea. Whitby is one of a few places where this happens, because of the shape of the coastline it actually faces almost due North, hence the East and West piers/cliffs, not the North and South.
This must be one of your earliest videos! Whitby and York are 2 of the BEST destinations. Whitby - famous for its Abbey, Dracula, its harbour, Capt James Cook RN, fish+chips, Whitby Jet and several shops selling jewellery made from it, the steam trains running to & from Pickering (the North York Moors Railway) and SO MUCH MORE. (This was a good video).
I live in Whitby and never heard the "Count Wampire" thing, do you have a source as that's quite interesting and wouldn't mind sharing the info if true :)
I've only been to Whitby once, as a young kid. My dad's friend told me Whitby was the first place Dracula landed in the UK, and that he was buried here. He said you can't go near his grave because he can be revived by your life force. Safe to say I didn't sleep for the whole trip.
I live in Essex and every year I visit my aunts who live in selby near York we always come here I need to ask someone as I've never actually been into the abbey do you have to pay to go in as I would love to do this
I stayed in the hostel true it's eerie and spooky being close to the graveyard and Mary's church and the foreboding outline of Whitby abby.yes I agree the Dracula experience looked crap but Whitby was awesome
I'm from Croydon going there this year for the first time, how are people supposed to know where to go if you don't bother telling them either in the video or in the description where it is leaving us to do our own CSI work with Google Maps and the clues seen before she steps into the place; you may as well not have included that Full Yorkshire English Breakfast since you forgot to even tell people where to find it if they want to try that Yorkshire novelty themselves.
I can see you don't take the Dracula experience in enough, fair enough but i think my uncle has put a lot of work and effort into it and loads of goths love it.
loading new content at 1am must be working long days saving those pennies for turkey! Might give that breakfast in a pud thing a go at the weekend with black pudding of course
Yeah mate today is our last England video before we leave. We have then 5 vids to release so we don't have to film and can focus on getting ready for the 10th 😍
Lol I like how "looks pretty legit" turned into a 0/10 bean rating, definitely worth the £4 🤣 I always flee scenes in dog form, it's definitely on trend these days.
Do you know what, forget about it, I've already found it was in fact a place called Crumbs 'n' Cobbles because I just compared every picture of every cafe in Whitby and used this video as reference. Not going to lie, I'm glad I took the time because I wrongly assumed it was another business I saw on Google Maps called Greedy Pig all week but now I know it was Crumbs 'n' Cobbles if you want that Full Yorkshire English Breakfast.
OMG, during my unforgettable trip across the pond in 2008 to visit my penpal-turned-galpal...we went to Robin Hood's Bay for a weekend (which was wonderful) and on the way back to her her house, we thought about stopping at Whitby. We didn't, but figured we return another day..which never happened. Never knew about the Dracula connection to the place. Like you, I'm not much into the vampire story, but this is nonetheless fascinating!
Count Wampire??! For real? Wow. Hahaha! That is funny. I love how you did this video with all the history and humor. Glad you made it out safe. Anemic Beans would be Unhappy Beans.
Wow the camera quality is superb - are the nighttime and city shots from the GoPro? Also do you use a chest mount? What microphone do you use for the GoPro? Thanks!
@Craig Vlad The Impaler if correct and HE wasnt a vampire hahahaha he was a ummmmmmmm Palovnik......why such nick name well he put enemis into pall i cant say more cos youtube block it hahaah
@Craig Even if he was from Belfast, he would still be Irish. You wouldn't call a Scotsman English, certainly not in Glasgow on a Saturday night, unless you wanted a Glasgow kiss.
Scariest place when i was a child was grandparents' basement. There was a dry well down there with a trapdoor which they informed their grandkids was one of the GATES OF HELL...i wonder now if my grandparents are enjoying the flames of perdition for their "funny" little yarn.
Nubianette Trains down the Esk Valley from Middlesbrough or from Pickering to Grosmont (pronounced "Growmont) on the North York Moors preserved steam railway with steam links to Whitby.
Look at this cool unique thing we're trying called the Full Yorkshire English Breakfast; we're going to be Dicks about this and not tell you the name of the place so you can have one too or even tell you where in Whitby it is; but if you really want to come here and try one, I'm sure me walking from what looks like a yellow door to walk next door to it should be direction enough/lame!
@@TravelBeans Other than that slight oversight of not letting outsiders know where to find that unique looking breakfast, this video was alright; sold me on the YHA in Whitby even so for 1 night I'm up there by the abbey; had the YHA had luxuries such as a TV (lol) I'd have made it my only place, but it doesn't, so, I've also found other lodgings in the area, but being so close to the abbey was too good of an opportunity to miss, so, thank you for that recommendation.
Only just got recommended, but great video guys. A Brit with no milk in her tea, is she really a Brit though, I think not. As for that Yorkshire pud/full English brekky, it may not have set your gastric pants on fire (yes, they are a thing) but it did mine, why have I not thought of this before, looked amazing 😁👍
You should also mention that it was in Whitby Abbey that the first words were written in English by a monk and that it was at the Synod of Whitby, that the dates for Easter were agreed.
Love Whitby my parents have a holiday home up there and we go as much as possible. Go during goth weekend its ace. Im no goth but I enjoy loads as do the kids :)
I've been dying to visit Whitby since... ever. I thought I would do it this years but... I'm not pretty sure. Thanks to your wonderful video I feel better. What an amazing job. Thanks, guys.
