I went on holiday there last year for a week. Enjoyed it very much. We loved rock pooling during the day and walking up the beach to Boggle Hole. Weather was nice so chilled on the beach then went to the pub
The hill walking back up from the beach is a killer.............

 

Go to Whitby, buy a cheap rod set or a handline and go fishing off the pier. Take a boat ride out in this http://www.hullmodelboatgroup.co.uk/...ry/Whitby_2008
Walk up the steps to the abbey. Check Scarborough out as well and further south get to the huuuuuuuuuuuuge beach at Bridlington if the weather's good. Go for a drive to the moors and to Goathland where they filmed Heartbeat. (All if you're old of course)

 

Have a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors railway, the longest preserved line in the Uk.
Eat fish and chips at the Magpie in Whitby, world famous, but be prepared for a queue.

 

cheers guys, some good pointers there, that rail way ride sounds a good shout

 

Have a drive up to saltburn by the sea
Lovely seaside village from a forgotten era
The pier is fantastic and tram down to it and beach is lovely

 

The steam railway ride from Pickering is good. Ends up at the place where some stuff was filmed for heartbeat if I remember rightly. Also the station at the end of the line (same place as the heartbeat thing) is the station they used in Harry Potter when the train arrives at the Hogwarts station.

If you are in to WWII stuff then there is a place called "Eden Camp" that was a POW camp during WWII. Loads of stuff to see, if you take your time and read all the exhibits then you could easily spend a whole day there in my opinion. The exhibits are laid out in the original huts and each hut is themed. Apart from walking between the huts it's mainly under cover so might be handy on a wet day.

 

Depends will you be staying in robinhoods bay?
Have you got kids?
You can fish at rhb if you get the tide right.
If you are into ww2 stuff plenty to find pm me if you want more info.




btw the pub bay hotel at the slope is crap

Drive to whitby

Oh you could try and find my secret cave.

 

If you're interested as well: http://www.trailways.info/map-trail

We're camping in Filey in June and I'm thinking of getting there on my bike as well (at least some of the way) http://www.cycle-route.com/routes/We...Route-987.html

 

Good ride that but you need to go north

 

 

Just google it you will still not find it

 

Robin hoods bay itself has nothing to do, as people have mentioned the steam railway is worth a visit, whitby is a nice little fishing town but strange when the goth weeks on. Highly recommend the magpie cafe for fish and chips or trenchers round the corner.
Head south to scarborough and enjoy its 2 sand beaches. The 2p pushers keep the kids amused for hours. The spa complex has many functions on or theres the theatre.
Between Pickering and Malton theres Flamingo land which is a theme park and zoo, a little further down the road theres eden camp which is a military museum. Theres also go ape in Dalby forest or head to Middlesborough and have a go on the go karts. These are ace, I believe its the biggest track in the uk with twin engined 65mph karts.

 

Just twigged who this is,
I believe you were at RH when I was getting my centre diff done on my white v5 sti a few months ago.

 

Goathland railway station, plus you can have a pint in the 'Aidensfield Arms' real name Goathland Hotel.
Nik.

 

Not quite as subtle a hint as you thought there Jamie....but we all know that's just up the old Bournville Boulevard round the back of the Pink Oboe

Watch out for this one Eddy!!

 

Funny but <see what i did there> larpoolane head north no one gets to find it well only a few

Mikey if you find it with you and a photo i will buy you a pint deal?


you have one month

 

I once went there to see friends years ago.

Can't advise you on what to do but I thought it was a very nice place.
