Around Whitby.
Whitby is a fishing port in a steep river gorge, overlooked by its ruined abbey, with strong links to Captain Cook, jet jewellery and Dracula. Visitors come year-round, including the famous goth weekends, and holiday lets make up a big share of the older housing. Narrow streets and steps make access a real issue for trades. Holiday let owners who live elsewhere search online for reliable changeover, cleaning and repair help, so show responsiveness and cover the surrounding villages.
