A fishing village built into a cleft in the sea cliffs of the North Yorkshire coast, Robin Hood's Bay descends steeply through a tangle of narrow lanes and pantiled cottages to a small rocky beach. The village is the traditional end point of Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk, and incoming walkers traditionally dip a boot in the sea here. The rocky shore at low tide exposes fossil-bearing shale that can be searched freely.
