Whitby is a small town of about 16,000 people situated on the north east coast of England in the county of North Yorkshire. One of the most picturesque ports in England, Whitby and its harbour are set in a ravine at the mouth of the River Esk. Dominated by the clifftop ruined Abbey, the narrow alleys and quaint streets climb down to the busy quayside, with its harbourside houses and small shops. From these centuries-old streets, 199 steps lead up to the parish Church of St Mary. Its churchyard is famous for providing the setting which inspired Bram Stoker to write his classic novel, Dracula. Estate agents in Whitby say that since the decline of the fishing industry after World War Two, Whitby has come to rely on the growing tourist trade for its livelihood, making it a popular with people searching for holiday lets and second homes. There is a good selection of property for sale in Whitby, including Grade II listed Georgian houses, stone built period cottages, bungalows, maisonettes, developments of modern detached family homes and Victorian terraced cottages.
