WHITBY ABBEY - THE ILLUMINATED LIGHT SHOW AT HALLOWEEN.

A bitterly cold, but beautifully clear night at the end of October. Whitby Abbey is a truly

wonderful place to hold this kind of event. The Abbey is part of English Heritage, who have

successfully hosted this spectacular light show and the accompanying “son et lumière”

 - The Tale of Dracula Landing at Whitby - for a number of years.

Whitby Abbey sits on top of the cliffs, high above the little town of Whitby, on the North East Coast of Yorkshire, overlooking the often stormy, tempestuous North Sea. 

It is a spectacular, medieval ruin. And also the setting for the world famous ‘Dracula’ novel by Bram Stoker. Standing in the changing lights of the illuminated ruins, on that cold night, it is easy to imagine the world of the Vampire and other magical creatures which only appear once the sun has set.

We took a selection of images of the Abbey in various stages of illumination both close up and landscapes.

Enjoy!
