Robin Hood's Bay is a tight huddle of red-roofed cottages tumbling down to a rocky shore. At low tide the scar is a rock-pooling playground and you can walk along the beach to Boggle Hole. The hill back up is steep, so allow time.

Good to know

  • Park at the top and walk down
  • Check tide times for walks along the shore
