It is not surprising, on having been to the village of Robin Hood's Bay, that some consider it to be the most beautiful village in North Yorkshire. Set in a sheltered bay on the coast, boasting a wonderful (and long) sandy beach, with its streets dropping dramatically from cliffs above to the sea level, it is an absolute gem to visit. Lots of cafés, souvenir and quaint boutique shops in narrow, picturesque streets... need I go on? Do stop here on your cycle for a memorable experience.
