Entrada a la Abadía de Whitby
Descripción
Las ruinas de la Abadía de Whitby coronan un acantilado sobre el histórico puerto pesquero de Whitby. El promontorio ha albergado el monasterio anglosajón de St Hild, la gran abadía medieval y una mansión de Stuart, y ha sido durante mucho tiempo el centro de mitos y leyendas. Puedes obtener más información sobre la gente del promontorio y las historias en el gran museo de la Abadía de Whitby, lleno de objetos e historias. Las publicaciones de escucha, las mirillas y las animaciones cuentan los muchos cuentos del promontorio : cómo St Hild convirtió serpientes en piedra, cómo Caedmon anglosajón se convirtió en poeta, cómo las campanas perdidas de la abadía todavía se escuchan bajo las olas, y cómo un verdadero naufragio ayudó a inspirar a Drácula, que a su vez ha convertido a Whitby en la «capital gótica» de Inglaterra.

Itinerario
Durante casi 700 años, la espléndida abadía gótica del siglo XIII se ha elevado por encima de Whitby. Hoy en día se puede disfrutar de maravillosas vistas de la costa y la ciudad mientras explora los extensos restos de la abadía. El centro de visitantes de Whitby Abbey ocupa una mansión del siglo XVII. En el interior se encuentra un museo que cuenta la historia de la abadía, que duró 3.000 años, con la ayuda de objetos como cruces anglosajonas, manuscritos medievales e incluso una rara copia firmada de la novela de Bram Stoker ‘Drácula’.

Whitby Abbey was perfect as always but I want to mention ‘Time will tell theatre company’ doing Dracula! They were brilliant, the atmosphere, the professionalism and the humour. I had no idea what to expect but we were so impressed and would encourage everyone to visit while these performances are on. They were fun and entertaining and dealt well with the children who were clearly engrossed in the story. Thank you for a great afternoon.
We always visit the Abbey when staying nearby, great views and very atmospheric place. When we visited they were doing an outdoor performance of the Dracula story, told with only three actors, it was nonetheless done really well and we thoroughly enjoyed the performance!
The experience was complete made by the performance of Dracula! We didn’t know it was in and we caught the last hour or so. It was fantastic! Brilliant cast, funny and engaged well with the audience. The abbey was a perfect setting. Glad we change that as it made it worth the money. Without it we would have only been there for half an hour a s would have been expensive! With the play it was well worth it!
We were not expecting a theatre performance of Dracula by Time Will Tell theatre company to be included with the tickets - it was AMAZING. Children (12 &10) were totally engaged, such an opportunity to see the play at the Abbey itself. Made our day
We walked up the 199 steps and bought our ticket on the gate. It’s just a wonderful place to be. The heritage centre was new since the last time we were there (a very long time ago), and was enjoyable and informative. The ruins of the abbey are still hugely impressive and a very peaceful place to be (even when there are lots pf people around)
Great place to visit Museum interesting and good shop. Had a audio tour which was informative and interesting. Great day Staff friendly
There are a few ruins of the old Abbey along with a museum which is little more than a home for a few pieces that have fallen off & a few pictures. We struggled to fill 30 minutes. If it had been free entry I’d have been underwhelmed however it cost £37.50 for 2 adults (including parking). Thank goodness it’s a charity otherwise I’d have called the police to report a robbery 😇
