About 199 Steps, Whitby
These iconic 199 steps were made famous by their mention in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and leading up to St Mary’s Church and Whitby Abbey. Dating back to around 1340 when they were wooden and believed to have been used to test the faith of followers of Christianity, it is a long walk up but it is worth it for the fabulous views from the top. Don’t forget to count as you go and look out for the roman numerals on your way.
