Robin Hoods Bay is a magical fishing village along the coast from Whitby North Yorkshire. The locals call it Bay or Bay town but legend has it Robin Hoods Bay is named after Robin Hood the famous outlaw who apparently thwarted a french attack on Robin Hoods Bay fishermen hence the name.
A favourite site for smugglers from the continent, it was also a place of shady deals and contraband in the 17th century. With goods whisked away from the shore through the tiny streets and alleyways heading inland.
Today, Robin Hoods Bay is a peaceful haven with many independent shops, cafes and pubs to enjoy as you lose yourself in the wonderful lanes of this picturesque place. Join us for a walk around with some interesting tales and history, in the last video of our Yorkshire travel series.
