Whitby is a
seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English
county of North Yorkshire. Prior to local government reorganisations in the
late 1960s it was part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east
coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established
maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby
Abbey, where Caedmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. Source
