The weather didn’t look very promising when we opened the cottage curtains this morning and we set off for Robin Hood’s Bay with low expectations. How wrong we were – it turned out to be a glorious day

We parked in the top car park at Robin Hood’s Bay (free in winter months) and set off along a quiet track out of the village. The going was all uphill to begin with, but this had the advantage of giving us far reaching sea views as we walked across the fields. When we reached Northcliffe Holiday Park we joined the Cleveland Way to return to Robin Hood’s Bay along the cliff tops. We were glad we’d walked clockwise as we saved the best for last and the views from the clifftop path were breathtaking

As we wandered round the village at the end of the walk we reflected on what a fantastic walk this had been
