Robin Hood’s Bay And Boggle Hole

If you’re looking for scenic outdoor activities here on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors and Coast, look no further than the higgledy-piggledy smuggling village of Robin Hood’s Bay. There is plenty to explore here, whether you feel like a gentle jaunt around the winding cobbled streets, dipping your toes in the North Sea or looking out across the surround shoreline from the many stunning clifftops. If you’d like to find out more about one of the regions most famous outlaws, visit the Robin Hood’s Bay Museum to get a real sense of the truth behind the folk legend.

Take a Tour of York

Many people know that the Vikings were a big influence on York, but very few realise just how big. Join Sigwulf on a tour of the ancient Capital of the North and hear about the deeds of Ivar the Boneless and Harald Hardaraada as you take in the city’s Anglo-Scandinavian and Norman sites along the way. Discover how the streets got their names, the pesky Pagans shaped the Christian church and the naughty Normans survived on a 75 minute exploration of over 200 years of history and a great alternative to the many popular ghost walks. Or simply stop of and refuel at one of over 300 pubs and restaurants.
