Neighbourhood information

One of the most attractive communities along the English coast is Robin Hood's Bay, with its winding cobblestone alleys and lovely houses. This picturesque old fishing community, previously home to writer Leo Walmsley, can be located between the larger cities of Scarborough and Whitby, tucked away at the edge of a broad, sweeping bay surrounded by beautiful cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery. Visitors of all types will enjoy strolling along the shore and along the cliffs, while hikers of a more serious persuasion will appreciate the area's inclusion on such long-distance routes as the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk, and the Coast to Coast. The village has wonderful conveniences, including attractive alleys to wander and numerous locations to rest, relax, and refresh. The ideal location from which to explore the Yorkshire coastline.
