Further details
The North Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby boasts history, gothic architecture and the chippie that won the award for the UK's best fish and chips - which Rosie Jones and Joe Wilkinson obviously sample.
The pair start their adventure playing crazy golf with a dramatic view of the sea, before exploring the area's famed Jurassic coast where, under the guidance of a local fossil hunting expert, they attempt to find ancient relics on the beach. They successfully unearth more than they could have imagined, before setting sail on a fishing trip that ends in disaster when Rosie fails to find her sea legs.
As the inspiration for the novel Dracula, Whitby is a beloved destination for goths. So after a full gothic makeover, Rosie and Joe join a band on stage to scream until they're hoarse.
