Coast to Coast 28 Glaisdale, Whitby, Dracula, wild salmon reminiscent of Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.
Manage episode 319470855 series 2975042
The trek from The Lion Inn to Glaisdale was the shortest section we’d walked and so we had time for a little sightseeing at the North Sea fishing port of Whitby. This seaside town is high on the tourist must visit list, not only for its crispy cod and chips, but also thanks to a notorious visitor. In July 1890, Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula was hoist ashore in Whitby, accompanied by a shipment of wooden casks filled with earth from the ancestral grave. There’s no shortage of things to eat and suck in Whitby.
On our return to Glaisdale we visited the make believe village of ’Aidensfield’, the film location for the long running TV series ‘Heartbeat’. That evening we feasted on delicious wild salmon, possibly poached by the Heartbeat ne’er-do-well, Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.
