Whitby played a huge role in Bram Stoker's famous Gothic vampire novel Dracula. Whitby itelf features in the book and it is the place when Bram Stoker found the name Dracula. The Whitby Abbey over looking the town was used to inspire his writing sessions, the 199 steps and the church play a role in the book.
Alex also tried one of the strangest food combinations the Yorkshire pudding and full English breakfast. This travel vlog we wanted to focus on the Dracula information we had learnt being there. It was our favourite part of this leg of the England road trip.

Welcome to the official Travel Beans KZbin channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

Whitby is amazing, I attended the Whitby Goth Festival twice yearly for over 8 years dressed in Victorian Gothic fashion. It is an amazing place. The great-grand nephew of Bram Stoker, Dacre Stoker, did a book signing there last week. It has a fantastic feel and is full of history. You must go and visit if you can.

[@samatkins5168]

I'm local to Whitby, and was great to see people enjoying themselves here, hope you visit again, I work at one of the restaurants here, and see so many people pass through every year. It's a great day out here 🙂

[@MLCHENG-zh6uw]

It's great place to visit. I've been to Whitby, a beautiful and peaceful seaside town.

[@sophierafat47]

This is so underrated! This should have more likes and more views! I have really enjoyed this video it is very informative💖

All these places in the UK look so beautiful. What a story this one has guys! Great vid 👍 - Trevor

I didn’t know this about Stoker and this town. Very good. Thank you.👍🏽

[@raymondporter2094]

This must be one of your earliest videos! Whitby and York are 2 of the BEST destinations. Whitby - famous for its Abbey, Dracula, its harbour, Capt James Cook RN, fish+chips, Whitby Jet and several shops selling jewellery made from it, the steam trains running to & from Pickering (the North York Moors Railway) and SO MUCH MORE. (This was a good video).

[@daveh1247]

Love you guys...been to Whitby twice now.i'm surprised Alex didn't mention the world famous fish and chips,we all know how much he loves his food. That Dracula experience was more like a nightmare lol. When are you guys off to turkey?

[@TravelBeans]

haha I think he's had enough fish and chips for a lifetime! We leave in a week! can't wait!!

[@blinkitphotography]

So eerie yet amazing history.

[@StampedTogether]

I've only been to Whitby once, as a young kid. My dad's friend told me Whitby was the first place Dracula landed in the UK, and that he was buried here. He said you can't go near his grave because he can be revived by your life force. Safe to say I didn't sleep for the whole trip.

[@noeltv3728]

Cool place! I wish I can visit it someday...

[@LITTLERASCAL210]

How can people hit the dislike button on this. Pathetic some people are just horrible. Whitby is a fantastic place to visit value for money and so much history it would definitely fill your wkd break with change to go home with. There is so much more to Whitby than Dracula.

[@TheRealBoroNut]

As it's on the East coast of England it seems odd that the sun sets over the sea, but in summer it actually does. In fact it both rises and sets over the sea. Whitby is one of a few places where this happens, because of the shape of the coastline it actually faces almost due North, hence the East and West piers/cliffs, not the North and South.

[@judithkelly2556]

Great place to visit especially on the both weekend and steampunk festival

[@TurnItUpWorld]

. It's actually a gorgeous area. Love the architectural detail in the buildings are cool. Love that they have a Bram Stoker bench.

That's only half the story of Bram S. For the other half you'll need to go and investigate Dublin his home town. You might find it very interesting. We have a place in Whitby by the way, and visited Dublin, to find this out.

[@therealcryptical6254]

Nice video of my home town. Just one point; there's no bay in Whitby, it's a harbour, maybe you guys were mixing it up with Whitley Bay.

[@ptjzmemory]

Count Wampire??! For real? Wow. Hahaha! That is funny. I love how you did this video with all the history and humor. Glad you made it out safe. Anemic Beans would be Unhappy Beans.

Whitby is not just famous for Bram Stoker's Dracula it also claim to fame Captain James Cook lived in Whitby and it was also a whaling port in the 17 and 18 hundreds and it's most claim to fame is the beautiful Whitby Abbey that stands above this beautiful seaside town

[@toobydude41]

OMG, during my unforgettable trip across the pond in 2008 to visit my penpal-turned-galpal...we went to Robin Hood's Bay for a weekend (which was wonderful) and on the way back to her her house, we thought about stopping at Whitby. We didn't, but figured we return another day..which never happened. Never knew about the Dracula connection to the place. Like you, I'm not much into the vampire story, but this is nonetheless fascinating!

I like some books story about dracula, it's very great to read.

[@1janehunter]

The Whitby Witches written by Robin Jarvis is a fantastic series & you can find all the locations as they actually exist.

[@ford4491]

If you look around carefully draculas grave is near the abbey! there is a small dug up grave with his name on it

A fuctional grave for a fictional character no doubt..🤔

Scariest place when i was a child was grandparents' basement. There was a dry well down there with a trapdoor which they informed their grandkids was one of the GATES OF HELL...i wonder now if my grandparents are enjoying the flames of perdition for their "funny" little yarn.

[@TravelBeans]

This is the funniest comment I have read in ages. We laughed so hard when we read this this morning

[@treborillusion]

Do you know what, forget about it, I've already found it was in fact a place called Crumbs 'n' Cobbles because I just compared every picture of every cafe in Whitby and used this video as reference. Not going to lie, I'm glad I took the time because I wrongly assumed it was another business I saw on Google Maps called Greedy Pig all week but now I know it was Crumbs 'n' Cobbles if you want that Full Yorkshire English Breakfast.

Look at this cool unique thing we're trying called the Full Yorkshire English Breakfast; we're going to be Dicks about this and not tell you the name of the place so you can have one too or even tell you where in Whitby it is; but if you really want to come here and try one, I'm sure me walking from what looks like a yellow door to walk next door to it should be direction enough/lame!

[@treborillusion]

@@TravelBeans Other than that slight oversight of not letting outsiders know where to find that unique looking breakfast, this video was alright; sold me on the YHA in Whitby even so for 1 night I'm up there by the abbey; had the YHA had luxuries such as a TV (lol) I'd have made it my only place, but it doesn't, so, I've also found other lodgings in the area, but being so close to the abbey was too good of an opportunity to miss, so, thank you for that recommendation.
