Northern Moors & Whitby
Whitby lies on the coast, on the fringes of the northern North York Moors. A lovely approach is via the scenic North York Moors Steam Railway. Whitby has featured in many literary works, most famously Dracula and Moby Dick, and a trip to this atmospheric fishing port testifies to its dramatic appeal. Close by is the picturesque village of Robin Hood’s Bay, which marks the end of the coast-to-coast national trail.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
