The village was served by Ravenscar railway station between 1885 and 1965. The former railway line has now been turned into the Cinder Track. At the turn of the 20th century, plans were made to turn the village of Ravenscar into a holiday resort to rival nearby Scarborough. Roads were laid out; some houses were built, and sewers were laid. Because of the long trek to its rocky beach, Ravenscar never achieved popularity, and the development was left unfinished, a town with sewers and streets but no houses.
