In this video, I explore the connection between Whitby in North Yorkshire and the legendary vampire Count Dracula! I visit the key places that were the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's classic novel, including the guest house where he stayed.
It was in Whitby that Bram Stoker found inspiration for the setting of Dracula, with its haunting Whitby Abbey ruins, winding cobbled streets, and the atmospheric Whitby Harbour.
Inspired by HBO’s True Blood.
Special thanks to Andy Dunn & Andrina Carroll for their readings of the novel.
Special thanks to Bram's View Apartment (www.bramsviewwhitby.com) & Whitby Museum (www.whitbymuseum.org.uk) for allowing me to film inside their properties.

I grew up spending a lot of time in Whitby totally oblivious to the Dracula story, heard of Dracula and saw the Dracula Experience open but never questioned why it was opened in Whitby. I can highly recommend the Dracula production in the abbey every October, totally fabulous especially when it clashes with the autumn goth weekend.

@@NorthYorkshireWanderer hi Andrew yes fine another week flies by I've been in darkest Halifax,Southawram, Coley and Shelf today, my youngest daughter travelled with a school friend to scarbro last Tuesday . They had a great time, paddle and most importantly a visit to the harbour bar!!! A firm family favourite passed down from my late Grandad who loved "scarbee" , the north bay, peasholm,the little train, bonets choccy shop, and the cricket festival (gdad wasnt a lover of the South bay with the exception of the harbour bar and the Corona)(hope that's the right name) boat tour Re Dracula as said I found it interesting, the thing with the steps and the church ruins is people forget about the church that's still up there in use including me!! Whitby abbey and Bolton abbey annoy me as id want them rebuilt to look nice , like Dracula I don't do ruins! But appreciate some folk do. I remember the goths going when we visited Whitby, I think also at that time the captain cook replica boat caused an increase in visitors, me and ex wife used to alternate destinations every month (I used to visit every month ie on my long weekend) . Anyway, it's the weekend now, and I'm not working so that's nice. Take care and as ever I look forward to the next installment. Best wishes. Ben

As always, there are many facets of Whitby that are appealing with regard to Dracula in terms of the number of location sites firmly linked to the details of the text itself. As for the Count's temporary grave site on the East Cliff, one only needs to follow Mina's detailed description of her midnight sleep walking adventure to the letter to be able to virtually pinpoint in a quite accurate fashion where 'the grave of George Cannon the alleged suicide' must be situated up there. (Bearing in mind, of course, that Mina's precise memory of the event may have been a little hazy by the time she had come to write it all up in her journal.) This, of course, is the 'fictional' one that Dracula had chosen to occupy for the short period of his stay in the town. Thus, adopting the 'sight lines' of the essential literary references relating to Lucy's hypnotic remark while out walking on the West Cliff..."His red eyes again"...and Mina's response in the form of her instinctive interpretation of the scene by way of Lucy's remark relating to the possible reflection of the setting sun in one of the tall gothic windows of the church, the two girl's fictional 'favourite seat' below which the stone of the suicide's grave had rested in the story, HAD to have been positioned - metaphorically speaking - somewhere in front of the three windows at the west front or even quite perceivably the three at the north facing side because Dracula himself had been seen by them sitting casually upon it that very same late afternoon.

Nah! Dracula's Grave is in the cellar of my house in Roandola, one of the Saxon villages of Transilvania, around 20 kilometres west of Sighișoara 😊 It's actually a bath shaped pit which I named Dracula's Grave and was used to slake lime for the limewash used to coat both the interior and exterior walls of the houses.

Good to see the interior of number 6 Royal Crescent along with some very nice drone shots of the area. What is not so good to witness are the current so-called Goth gatherings that have clearly degenerated over the years into nothing more than bizarre freak shows that have nothing to do with the original concept of them whatsoever. As far as those are concerned, they have clearly lost the plot altogether.
