Staithes, North Yorkshire Coast, Robin Hood's Bay

We had a lazy start with coffee and then bacon and egg baps for breakfast.

After breakfast, we headed out on a walk along the clifftops north towards Saltburn-by-the-Sea and then looping in around Boulby, which is the highest point on the east coast of England at around 230 metres.

There's also a large mine there, which is the deepest mine under the sea in Britain.

The walk took us about two and a half hours. And when we got back to the cottage it was time for some food.

For the afternoon we decided that we would explore a little further along the coast, so we picked up the car and headed south to Robin Hood's Bay.

We spent an hour or so wandering around, taking in the sights and having a drink overlooking the harbour. From here we started back towards Staithes, stopping briefly at Whitby Abbey for a short walk and some photos.

Once back at the cottage, as it was now past 4pm, we had a few drinks overlooking the sea and then some food again at the pub. Back at the cottage, we spent the evening relaxing.Read more
