YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Robin Hood's Bay
The old village lanes
Take your time descending through the cobbled streets and passages towards the waterfront. Shops, cottages and cafés reward a slow browse. Allow energy for the steep return journey after exploring the lower village.
Beach and rock pools
When conditions and the tide allow, explore the shore for rock pools and views across the bay. Look from a sensible distance below the cliffs, and keep your route back clear rather than continuing around a headland without knowing what the incoming tide will cover.
The Cinder Track
Robin Hood's Bay connects with this former railway route, providing another option for a walk or cycle ride away from the village's steep lanes. Choose a section and a turning point that fit your group, particularly if some people will be walking while others have bikes.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Village shops and cafés are part of a visit to the old streets. Browse while travelling between the upper village and shore, and organise any substantial grocery purchase separately so you are not carrying heavy bags back up the bank.
Planning your holiday in Robin Hood's Bay
Comfortable footwear matters here: cobbles, slopes and steps can make a short-looking outing demanding. For mobility needs, ask about the actual access to the places you want to visit before choosing your accommodation.
Choosing where to stay
Many caravan parks are outside the historic lower village. Read the complete address and ask how you will reach the top of the bay, rather than assuming an advert with this destination name is beside the harbour.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
