music lover: Whitby

Whitby is a town and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated 47 miles (76 km) from York, at the mouth of the River Esk and spreads up the steep sides of the narrow valley carved out by the river's course. Whitby was founded under its Old English name of Streonshal in 656, when Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded Whitby Abbey, under its first abbess Hilda. Tourism and fishing now form the mainstay of the town's economy. (adopted from wiki)

The Whitby Abbey
The first abbess, Hilda was later venerated as a saint. Whitby became a centre of learning, and the poetry of Cædmon is an early example of Anglo-Saxon literature. The abbey was the leading royal nunnery of Deira, and burial-place of its royal family. (adopted from wiki) The Abbey monuments are so nice and elegant! I love this place :)
