ENGLANDS 1^st & BEST HOLIDAY RESORT

OFFERED TRANQUIL SLEEPY VILLAGES, YORKSHIRE’S EAST COAST IS THE COAST OF HIDEN GEMS

Having travelled the length & breadth of our great nation I can honestly say in my opinion the east coast of Yorkshire has it all to offer, with large bustling towns but superb small exquisite tranquil sleepy villages on both the coast & moors like

Ravenscar.

Dramatically situated 600ft above sea level Ravenscar was 1^st used by the Roman’s as a signal station. Ravenscar then became a fort until the Danes demolished it & hoisted there own standard, this featured a Raven Motif & the eighteenth century Raven hall now stands on the summit.

Runswick Bay

Approx 8 miles north of Whitby Runswick is a village of white painted cottages which spans one of the most beautiful bays on the east coast.

It is a favourite spot for artists, sailing enthusiasts, surfer’s & water skiers.

The headland to the east Kettle Ness has the remains of a Roman lighthouse.

Robin Hoods Bay

The world renowned Robin Hoods Bay a picturesque & historic village evoking memories of the early seagoing mysterious smugglers.

Lilliput lane immortalised this village by creating St Peter’s Cove one of the largest ever Lilliput’s made which was based on Robin Hoods Bay.

The beach still has the original smugglers caves & jet can still be found on the beach at the foot of the cliffs.

The rock pools provide area’s of great marine interest.

The village is a kaleidoscope of colour in the warmer months with displays of beautiful flowers & Robin Hoods Bay has won the International floral village of the year on numerous occasions, the cobbled streets intwine each other & there is plenty to look at.

Shopping is good with a wide array of collectables shops, pubs & restaurants.

Please note however the road down is very steep & therefore not recommended to the disabled or elderly.

Staithes

A typical north Yorkshire coastal village, hard to believe but Staithes was once one of the largest fishing ports on the north east coast.

Staithes attracts lots of artists (Staithes group,) geologists & poets because of its outstanding natural beauty inspiring outlook & it’s famously known as the Dinosaur Coast.

With the semi precious stone of Jet (made famous by Queen Victoria) still being widely available, also iron stone & alum shale people flock for the chance of finding such a piece.

Staithes being more landlocked than it’s neighbours it has a small harbour & the connection with captain cook who lodged in the fisherman’s cottages in the narrow streets, pulls in lots of visitors.

Saltburn–by-the-Sea

Saltburn founded in the 1800’s & predominately used by upmarket holiday making Victorian.

You can still see the cliff lift, formal gardens & pier all surviving from those Victorian days.

Saltburn has a miniature railway, Saltburn valley woodland centre, Tom Leonard mining museum, Saltburn Smugglers heritage centre & the Margrove heritage centre.
