Robin Hood’s Bay

Robin Hood’s Bay is a much-loved gravity-defying picture-postcard village. Once home to the smuggling trade on the Yorkshire coast, said to involve fisherman, clergy and gentry alike, today the village has adopted a much more sedate pace of life.

There are also several pubs in the village with great pub grub. If you want to dine in, take advantage of the well-stocked local stores there, including a fishmongers selling  locally caught fish. There are independent shops and cafes dotted around the village and not forgetting the dinosaur museum!

If you fancy a weekend of folk music how about matching up your date with the Robin Hood’s Bay annual Folk Weekend in June, head to folkclub.rhbay.co.uk for more information. A popular gathering for Folk music enthusiasts celebrating the area’s rich heritage.

Victorian themed light-hearted weekend in early December organised by the Robin Hood’s Bay Tourism Association every year. With a Christmas tree exhibition, warm mince pies and mulled wine setting a fabulous, festive atmosphere and the chance to take part in Victorian games, befriend an Alpaca and visit period cottages or Santa’s grotto among many other activities around the village.
