Situated on the North Yorkshire coast of the UK, between Whitby and Scarborough is the beautiful village of Robin Hood's Bay. The numerous cottages are very closely built around the winding road which ends in a slipway, after it follows a steep ravine down to the ocean.
Records indicate that the village probably dates from somewhere in the 15th century. It was once a fishing village, but during the 18th century and early 19th century it was better know for the smuggling activities that were prevalent there. The layout of the village was ideal; between the cottages are many secret hiding places, bolt holes, secret passages and alleyways.

Robin Hood's Bay from the hamlet of Ravenscar, in North Yorkshire, England. The view, punctuated by wisps of wood smoke, shows both the bay and the distant village, which are both called Robin Hood's Bay. The bay is surrounded by steep cliffs and wonderful countryside and the prolific gorse bushes, added welcome splashes of yellow to the lovely landscape.
A view from the bottom of the slipway at Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, England. Children and adults are pictured climbing the steep slipway which leads to the harbour area and the lower part of the village. Several signs warn of the extreme danger of getting cut off from the slipway at high tide.
The very steep New Road, which is the main route in and out of the picturesque coastal village of Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, England. A few people are pictured walking this main route, some take the pavement and steps and some choose the road, but either one can be an exhausting experience.
This view shows the cottages, church, bay and the distant cliffs. The buildings are all built in close proximity to each other and on so many different levels. They are built on a steep ravine and between them is a mass of secret passages and alleyways. This is the very picturesque village of Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, England.
Perched here on the edge of the cliff are just two of the many cottages in the village. These cottages in particular have the most spectacular view of the bay and along the cliffs. The location is Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, England.
This is the point where the main street ends in a slipway to the ocean. At low tide around three miles of beach is exposed, but the tide turns rapidly and can catch out the unwary. At high tide the ocean comes nearly all the way up the slipway, and during storms it can even creep up the main street. The location is Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, England.
