Robin Hood's Bay offers the perfect base from which to explore the great outdoors. In both directions there are interesting cliff walks: north to the famous seaside town of Whitby with all of its traditional attractions, or south to Ravenscar where seals are a common sight. Robin Hood's Bay is the start/end point for the  'Coast to Coast' walk too.

Cycle the Cumberland Way, explore the historic villages up and down the coast, or simply fossil hunt on the beach.
