Robin Hood's Bay Lanes 1
A small alley leads to some of the homes in the lower part of the village of Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire.
Robin Hood’s Bay is an isolated fishing village on the North Yorkshire coast, five miles south of Whitby and about 10 miles north of Scarborough.
With narrow, winding alleys and clusters of small houses among the cliffs, it still has very much an old feel about it, helped by the absence of cars from the streets of the lower village.
Its remoteness meant it was once a haunt for smugglers, while its name derives from a tale that Robin Hood once fled here to escape the law.
