Adjacent to it is Whitby Abbey, which has been abandoned for decades. This monastery is located very close to the cliff, which has become ruined after a landslide and contains ancient tombs. Based on this graveyard, Bram Stoker’s horror novel Dracula was born in 1897. Stoker describes Dracula moving through graveyards and loitering over villages and kidnapping women and children… Dartmoor, Devon Wistman’s Wood, located at 1,200 feet at Dartmoor in Devon, is the precious remains of the ancient forest that covered much of the wasteland, believed to be 9,000 years old, with the remains of ancient forests. rough, stunted oak trees, growing from among moss-covered granite boulders, are now a nature reserve, where visitors feel like they’ve stepped back to centuries ago and completely unaffected by the modern world.
