Whitby is a seaside town on the Yorkshire coast with a rich maritime history. For horror lovers, Bram Stoker was inspired by Whitby when writing his epic story, Dracula, and its impact can be felt across the town, from its Dracula museum to its bi annual goth weekend. When it comes to dogs, there's something for everyone, from cosy coffee shops to boat trips, making it the perfect weekend getaway to bring your pooch on!
