Sea, sand and… fangs?
We’re looking out over the golden sands and colourful huts of West Cliff Beach in the seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire. But it’s not just a place known for deckchairs, wind breaks and donkey rides - Whitby’s literary connections run deep. The earliest known English poet, Caedmon, lived here in the 7th century, while in Victorian times it was frequented by writers and artists including Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens.
