A short drive from beautiful Harrogate, were the clear skies of the postcard perfect Yorkshire Dales (pictured sky high above Malham Cove). Then on to the misty gothic seaside town of Whitby, struggling to see a hand in front of you makes it clear (pardon the pun) to see why it’s home to Dracula! A stroll up to the (just visible) Abbey lead to a neat discovery – an independent Brewery, where I picked up some tasty souvenirs. All ales are brewed on site and can be enjoyed in the micro pub with the Abbey looming before it. I tried Abbey Blonde, Smugglers Gold and Whitby’s very own IPA.
