ROBIN HOOD’S BAY

I have had my eye on Robin Hood’s Bay for a while now and finally got to visit as part of our trip to the North East coast this September. The Bay is an incredibly picturesque village by the sea, known for its exciting smuggling history and fishing heritage which tumbles right down to the shore. Despite the tricky trip down (bent knees at the ready!), it really is a wonderful place to visit. The village is full of tiny passages and secret turns in which you’ll find artsy shops selling makers goods, restaurants serving up local dishes and a couple of pubs to whet your whistle. We totally recommend ordering a whisky and enjoying the very drink that was once considered contraband and smuggled up through the cobbled streets!

Happy travels!
