Roman, Greek and ClassicalA rock beside a holy well showing parts of a 3.70m wide Gallo-Roman relief. It shows the lower part of two human figures, two deer, dogs and a wild boar. The human figures are probably the gods Diana (goddess of hunting) and Silvanus (god of the forest). This is just south of the better known Rocher des trois figures. There is also a third carving, probably of the Celtic goddess of fortune Ritona. See our nearby sites map and list for more on these.

Early Medieval (Dark Age)In its bleak windblown position on top of the hill above the harbour, Whitby Abbey makes for a great visit. The weathering shapes and patterns of the stone remains make it truly memorable. The museum is also fascinating with many items of ancient historic interest. The abbey is built on the site of previous Early Medieval ecclesiastical communities. It was originally founded as a double house priory in 657 and destroyed by the Danes circa 867, and re-founded as a Benedictine Priory by 1077.
