Whitby, located in North Yorkshire, England, is a historic monastery site situated on a cliff overlooking the sea. Originally established by King Oswey of Northumbria around 657 AD, it was later rebuilt after the Norman Conquest and remained the center of religious life until its dissolution in 1539. Not only is it an important location in the history of Christianity in England, but it is also the source of inspiration for the legendary Count Dracula. The site includes the ruins of a 13th century Gothic monastery and a modern museum showcasing the monastery's story. Whitby Abbey remains a popular tourist attraction to this day.
