Whitby is a place that comes alive at night. Appreciated by many for its historic buildings and artefacts, namely Whitby Abbey and the infamous Whale Bone Arch and stories or Count Dracula, Whitby is also known for it's heritage as a fishing village full of colourful boats, lobster pots and of course the beautiful Whitby jet. This scene shows the Abbey, a place that attracts many gothic individuals to it throughout the year, standing on the top of the hill overlooking the harbour under the moonlit sky.
