Whitby, Yorkshire, Northern England is a bleak, cold, and windswept place. It's also home to a 7th Century Abbey which was Bram Stockers inspiration for Dracula. Thus, Whitby is now a focal-point for the british Goth movement, and they have a famous Gothic festival every year, but wait, there's more!.....
