Today my family and I are visiting the historic fishing town of Whitby. The town is probably most famous as a setting in Bram Stokers novel Dracula. The ruins of the Abbey overlooking the town feature in the story and are a popular tourist attraction.

The site of the Abbey is bleak, windswept and exposed. Ideal as a location in a Gothic novel! The towns exposed position on the East coast saw it shelled by German battleships in 1914. The Abbey was damaged as were several buildings in the town.

    That's a great picture, and very useful for wargaming. Next time someone asks me where all the rubble is in my ruiins I can show them this pic. :)

    Nice one Lee, I am familiar with Whitby and used to visit it often; used to love eating fish 'n' chips on the seafront, but could never get in Magpies (best chippy up North;)
