Robin Hood’s Bay is an enchanting place, huddled at the edge of the sea there are winding cobbled footpaths connecting rows of quirky cottages. Historically smugglers, sailors, pirates and the press gangs would roam these snickets and gunnels at night. There are still tunnels from the cliffs underground which smugglers would use to get their goods from the village to the boats without getting caught. Exploring this village is like stepping back in time, it has a whimsical atmosphere. There are some quirky independent shops and cafés to discover as well as a couple of popular fish and chip shops and friendly local pubs.
Stepping into the Grade II listed Oakfield Cottage, you have the exposed beams and winding stairs so typical of these historical fisherman’s cottages.

As well as having a wonderful beach Robin Hood’s Bay is also a walker’s paradise with the Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk starting or finishing in the village, as well as The Cleveland Way passing through. Take a stroll along the cobbled alleyways and narrow streets or enjoy an exhilarating walk on the cliff-top Cleveland Way before heading out into the rugged North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The old railway track at the top of the village, now a cycle track, follows the cliff tops to Whitby. The neighbouring town is Whitby, boasting an incredible Abbey as well as a long golden beach stretching for miles.
