September 19th - The Day of the Huntrodds!
Perched on the cliffs high above the town are the ruins of the Gothic Abbey. To reach the Abbey you need to climb the famous 199 steps that were featured in Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula". Watch out for who you might meet as you go up! | |||
Although the ruins are spectacular, the other church that shares the same cliff top has its own little-known secret. | |||
The front of St Mary's Church looks out over the harbour and North Sea, but tucked around the back is a wooden staircase that leads to a gallery inside the building. Nestled underneath the stairs is a small stone arch that guards a very curious gravestone.The inscription is almost worn away, but a plaque on the back of the wall tells us what it says. If you're a maths fan, you'll love it! | |||
