PLACE: Something Special #6

Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place.

It will be something different every week, but it will always be about something worth seeing, hearing or watching, or a place worth visiting or a food worth tasting.

This week, we visit Whitby through a TikTok video. Whitby is a North Yorkshire seaside town in the north of England, where Bram Stoker found inspiration for Dracula.

Whitby is beautiful but its gothic edge is really highlighted and celebrated in this video by Mariana Postcards.
