Yorkshire coast: a long weekend

Whitby, Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay, Bridlington — Brontë to Bram Stoker country.

The Yorkshire coast is dramatic, fossiliferous and walkable. Whitby has Captain Cook's house, Bram Stoker's Dracula and the abbey ruin; Scarborough is the original British seaside resort; Robin Hood's Bay tumbles down the cliff into the smugglers' coves. Three days links them all by foot or steam train.
