Whitby Abbey - The Home Of Dracula

[@zedjay81]

Been here today. Wish I'd of watched this first!

This was a sooo good! Only critique, after hearing about Oswald and Oswi (I thought they were father and son not brothers lol) and Oswi killing Penda then marrying Edwins daughter is a real life romance...there should be merch on this!! And on Abbess Hild too. I'd join English heritage if they did this. Anglo-Saxon history rules! Why is it so hidden!??

It’s stunning. Thanks for sharing this. We visited in the summer and fell in love with the place. Thanks for telling the history so well. 🍻

Visited Whitby but didn't manage to get to Abbey Thanks for the upload 👍👍

[@TheUntoldPast]

No problem Rob! I’d definitely recommend a visit, it’s a beautiful place to have a wander around, but Whitby’s a great place in itself. Amazing fish and chips there!

The level of craftsmanship is amazing! How were we able to build so beautifully SO long ago?! Thank you for the tour 😊

Check out Jon Levi, interesting site.

They were no different than us! In fact they were more advanced than us building in stone.

I live in Whitby

[@magnussoevgaard8091]

Lived in Whitby Yorkshire Great Britain from 1968-1973. Went to that Cliff side ruin many times

One has to wonder what the Abby looked like in its glory days

[@TheUntoldPast]

I agree! It would have been spectacular!

While visiting Whitby Abbey in 2016, I took a massive shit in the on-site public toilets. It was such monster, that I lifted it out of the toilet bowl, and after waiting until the coast was clear, I carefully 'displayed' it in one of the hand washing basins, then wrote a note on a piece of shit paper, that said, "Look at my lovely Mr. Whippy", and lovingly placed it next to the shit.

The home of Dracula is not in Whitby, sorry guys. The home of Dracula is in Romania 🇷🇴 exactly in Castle Bran.👏👍Here was just the person who wrote the book of Dracula.

[@iananderson3799]

Dracula landed at Whitby.

[@funsalmon]

Have you...read Dracula?

[@willhuey4891]

yeah in the novel dracula chose whitby when he was buying up land.

[@stevehaire6324]

Yes, and no. In short; the character, Count Dracula, and the person he was based on (Vlad Dracul) called Transylvania, Romania their home; but Whitby is the home of 'Dracula' the story.

[@dianaaston9239]

​@@stevehaire6324 nothing but rumors and myths more than likely

[@fionabradley4225]

Not the home of Dracula at all
