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.
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 🙂
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.
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).
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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

Yeah mate today is our last England video before we leave. We have then 5 vids to release so we don't have to film and can focus on getting ready for the 10th 😍
I can see you don't take the Dracula experience in enough, fair enough but i think my uncle has put a lot of work and effort into it and loads of goths love it.

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 stayed in the hostel true it's eerie and spooky being close to the graveyard and Mary's church and the foreboding outline of Whitby abby.yes I agree the Dracula experience looked crap but Whitby was awesome
I've been dying to visit Whitby since... ever. I thought I would do it this years but... I'm not pretty sure. Thanks to your wonderful video I feel better. What an amazing job. Thanks, guys.
Wow the camera quality is superb - are the nighttime and city shots from the GoPro? Also do you use a chest mount? What microphone do you use for the GoPro? Thanks!
Love Whitby my parents have a holiday home up there and we go as much as possible. Go during goth weekend its ace. Im no goth but I enjoy loads as do the kids :)
Loved seeing the sunset over the bay. it does have a creepy vibe. Those tomb stones especially. Great video. COuld you watch our latest video as we' love to hear your thoughts as well. Thank you.
The spookiest place I've been to? Walking through a deep forest at night as a kid with the nearest village being about 1.2 miles away and my hometown being 6 miles away.
I live in Whitby and never heard the "Count Wampire" thing, do you have a source as that's quite interesting and wouldn't mind sharing the info if true :)
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.
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.
Lol I like how "looks pretty legit" turned into a 0/10 bean rating, definitely worth the £4 🤣 I always flee scenes in dog form, it's definitely on trend these days.
I live in Essex and every year I visit my aunts who live in selby near York we always come here I need to ask someone as I've never actually been into the abbey do you have to pay to go in as I would love to do this
Only just got recommended, but great video guys. A Brit with no milk in her tea, is she really a Brit though, I think not. As for that Yorkshire pud/full English brekky, it may not have set your gastric pants on fire (yes, they are a thing) but it did mine, why have I not thought of this before, looked amazing 😁👍
You should also mention that it was in Whitby Abbey that the first words were written in English by a monk and that it was at the Synod of Whitby, that the dates for Easter were agreed.
@Craig Vlad The Impaler if correct and HE wasnt a vampire hahahaha he was a ummmmmmmm Palovnik......why such nick name well he put enemis into pall i cant say more cos youtube block it hahaah
@Craig Even if he was from Belfast, he would still be Irish. You wouldn't call a Scotsman English, certainly not in Glasgow on a Saturday night, unless you wanted a Glasgow kiss.
I'm from Croydon going there this year for the first time, how are people supposed to know where to go if you don't bother telling them either in the video or in the description where it is leaving us to do our own CSI work with Google Maps and the clues seen before she steps into the place; you may as well not have included that Full Yorkshire English Breakfast since you forgot to even tell people where to find it if they want to try that Yorkshire novelty themselves.
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!
@@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.

It's great place to visit. I've been to Whitby, a beautiful and peaceful seaside town.
All these places in the UK look so beautiful. What a story this one has guys! Great vid 👍 - Trevor
This is so underrated! This should have more likes and more views! I have really enjoyed this video it is very informative💖
Oh look, it's where I live! :D I can see the Abbey from my back garden and it looks amazing when they light it up :D
I know I live here to I have all my life for god sace they do my head in
Same ❤
Thanks for another Beanfest of interesting stuff. Whitby looks unique. "DAVE OUT!!
I didn’t know this about Stoker and this town. Very good. Thank you.👍🏽
. It's actually a gorgeous area. Love the architectural detail in the buildings are cool. Love that they have a Bram Stoker bench.
How can people hit the dislike button on this.
Pathetic some people are just horrible.

Great Video, we live in Whitby
Awesome we loved our time there so much
really love how you tell the stories of the places you go
Love it!! Thank u guys!! We just saw it with my mom 😊 she loved it too.
Another great video guys - beans rock !
Thanks mate 😀

haha I think he's had enough fish and chips for a lifetime! We leave in a week! can't wait!!
Been there recently,and your right,locals told me to try their fish and chips
They where famous for it
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.
haha Anemic Beans. There is no way those 2 words will go together ever again.
So eerie yet amazing history.
Great place to visit especially on the both weekend and steampunk festival
What a pleasant vlog and a great way for a viewer to learn about quirky lesser known towns of England.
Thanks so much!
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.
Cool place! I wish I can visit it someday...
Great little vid! The Dracula Experience - what a wasted opportunity! They could have done so much more.
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.
Fantastico......
Hehe he Alex, you're funny!
Agreed! I'm a lucky lady.. I basically never stop laughing 😆💛

My 1st experience of visiting Whitby this weekend was a parking ticket
So sorry my mate, me too
Incredible video Thank you
The Whitby Witches written by Robin Jarvis is a fantastic series & you can find all the locations as they actually exist.
OH FUNNY I FROM BRASIL I LOVE ENGLAND 😎🙏🇧🇷

Yeah mate you know it. Today is our 4th day in a row of filming. Editing around the travel and filming is not easy but the show must go on 😀
@@TravelBeans hope you get a day off to chill out at some point. All work and no play is no fun
Yeah mate today is our last England video before we leave. We have then 5 vids to release so we don't have to film and can focus on getting ready for the 10th 😍
Seems like a cool little city off the beaten path. Thank you for featuring this city. I have never heard of it. Keep up the good work.
Not a City just a Town. Albeit a very atmospheric one.
Never venture out alone under a blood moon in Whitby. That is all I can tell you.
I can see you don't take the Dracula experience in enough, fair enough but i think my uncle has put a lot of work and effort into it and loads of goths love it.
We're visiting Whitby in two weeks! So this has been very insightful, thank you! :)))
What an enthusiastic and delightful video essay. Well done. Whitby & the YHA seem awesome.
What a delicious pile of slop! Definitely need to do those 199 steps after having that tasty dish.
WHITBY YHA ABBEY HOUSE lovely place with lovely staff . i used to be security there night time lol
I bet that was fun at night :)
Counting the steps, that’s how parents tire their kids out.😘
If you go to Whitby try the humble pie shop.so nice
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..🤔
This was awesome. Tha k oh!
I like it! That would be a cool place to go, provided a train or something goes there.

Booked a holiday cottage for Christmas overlooking horbour
That's so cool!

For a couple of years I lived in a flat on royal crescent that turned out to be the actual room where bram wrote his rather famous book
No you didn't
The fright knight prizes for the tv show knight are were made in Whitby
try visiting the Gloucester Cathedral in Gloucestershire where they filmed parts of the harry potter films and also king Edward the 2nd tomb
Wow the camera quality is superb - are the nighttime and city shots from the GoPro? Also do you use a chest mount? What microphone do you use for the GoPro? Thanks!
Hey thanks so much. We don't use GoPro often.. this video was filmed on a Panasonic g9 👍
Terrific! My partner and I stayed in a nearby town called Robin Hood’s Bay, which was stunning.
.
RHB is a village..inhabited by second home owners and air bnb guests.
I like some books story about dracula, it's very great to read.
Love Whitby my parents have a holiday home up there and we go as much as possible. Go during goth weekend its ace. Im no goth but I enjoy loads as do the kids :)
we'll just start to film The Last Voyage of the Demeter in Malta ...
That so cool that you were in Dracula's hometown. Bram would be proud
I live there
See you beautiful guys in Berkshire for our Nando’s 😉😉😉
😂
@@TravelBeans 😘😘
Loved seeing the sunset over the bay. it does have a creepy vibe. Those tomb stones especially. Great video. COuld you watch our latest video as we' love to hear your thoughts as well.
Thank you.
It's not a bay
The Dracula experience is better now they have but a lot more stuff on it you should definitely go and check it out how x
Its my dream to come one day to Whitby..
Spookiest place i've been to Croglin Cumbria
Apparently the benches on the way up the steps were actually for resting coffins on when carrying them up the steps to the graveyard.
Yes I forgot to mention this. Also if you were rich enough you could have a horse and cart to bring up the coffin on the slope besides it
The spookiest place I've been to? Walking through a deep forest at night as a kid with the nearest village being about 1.2 miles away and my hometown being 6 miles away.
He's like... he like has nothing to do ...... they are like well inarticulate 😮
I don't know that much about Dracula, however, used to love count Duckular!
HOLD THE PHONE; Breakfast, in a Yorkshire pud?!?!?! That's my kinda bowl.
Tell me about it.. let's start a movement where we throw away all our plates and replace them with giant Yorkshire's instead! 😂
So I was there a few weeks ago for four days with my girlfriend...
I live in Whitby and never heard the "Count Wampire" thing, do you have a source as that's quite interesting and wouldn't mind sharing the info if true :)
Sure www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/whitby-abbey/history-and-stories/dracula/
It is all there about count wampyr :)
@@TravelBeans Thank you, never heard that before, i love finding out all about the history of my hometown and things about it.
Only it was to be pronounced as vampeer and not whampire, you know, the mainland Europe way.
EXCELLENT
i love dracul experience
i will try and get there by 2022 , i going to Alaska 2021 i hope cause of travel restrictions from the virus we have to deal with
I've been to withby today!

This is the funniest comment I have read in ages. We laughed so hard when we read this this morning
1st. Hi kids...
Lovely Channel
I went there with my class and stayed in the hotel you said to stay near the abbey

Thank you for doing my homework, Bobby. I'm visiting Whitby soon and was hoping to track this breakfast down.
Achievement unlocked. The breakfast was great. I told them that I was eating there because of this video.
Thank you for posting this, I was unsure if they were still open with the pandemic and everything.@@H0MEM0VIE
@@H0MEM0VIE lucky for some, I've been in Whitby since Sunday/Halloween and they haven't been open yet.
@@treborillusion Perhaps they're taking a break after a busy summer season?
Keep Rockin' you guys! Love Gothic stuff! Draculas novel based a must see on the list!
Lol I like how "looks pretty legit" turned into a 0/10 bean rating, definitely worth the £4 🤣
I always flee scenes in dog form, it's definitely on trend these days.
I actually think we made it look better than it was too 😆
The Dracula Experience is definitely a zero...went n the first year i moved to Whitby in 1989...never again.🤣🤣🤣
Dracula experience used to WAAAAAY scarier, they used to have actors and more practical scenes rather than cheap projections. It traumatised me 😂
You're right about the Dracula experience... absolutely shite!
You got the wrong beach for the shipwreck.
We read the reviews after about it. What a joke, a literal scam! Damn it, was asking to get some things wrong with a vid like this I guess :)
I live here so yeah
I live in Essex and every year I visit my aunts who live in selby near York we always come here I need to ask someone as I've never actually been into the abbey do you have to pay to go in as I would love to do this
Yes you do, I think it's about £8 for an adult 😊
