Robin Hood's Bay

Beautiful village perched on the edge of North Yorkshire's coast

Probably one of the most photographed and instantly recognisable locations in North Yorkshire, Robin Hood’s Bay is a picture-perfect escape for those looking to spend quiet days exploring and relaxing.

Known for its steep and winding paths, you’ll definitely need to wear sensible shoes when visiting Robin Hood’s Bay! As you walk up and down the cobbled streets, you’ll discover charming cottages, a variety of shops, and a selection of cafés. If those steep hills weren’t enough for you, Robin Hood’s Bay is also a great place for walking and cycling, as it’s part of many popular trails, such as The Coast to Coast, The Cleveland Way, and The Cinder Track. Due to its maze-like winding paths and fishing harbour, it’s easy to see why Robin Hood’s Bay was once known as a smuggler’s haven. You can even relive life as a smuggler on one of the many tours the village has to offer.
