But Whitby's still a thriving place
And proud of her ancient ways.
Poets and painters and writers too
Have fallen under her spell
For Whitby binds u. to herself
We folk who love her well.Â

(Tom Stamp)

Tom Vernon discovers some of the people who have fallen under the spell of the coast of North Yorkshire - among them Alan Ayckbourn, Anne Bronte, the Sitwells and Count Dracula.
