Robin Hoods Bay, situated in the dramatic and rugged scenery of the North Yorkshire coastline, is probably one of the most picturesque fishing villages in the country. The Bay lies 15 miles from Scarborough and 5 miles from Whitby. Devon House is also close to Goathland (home to the T.V. series Heartbeat). The very popular Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk also finishes here, and is on route for the Cleveland Way walk. We are close to all amenities including buses, pubs, post office etc. Fishing is no longer an essential income for the village, which is still a thriving community, but now the main income is from the many tourists coming to discover its historic charm and the spectacular views over the wide bay. The change in the Bay's fortunes commenced with the coming of the railway in 1885, making the area accessible to tourists. The railway closed in 1965, but by this time the Bay had established itself as an expanding community, and continued attracting many visitors. The village is set amongst a network of steeply sloping streets, steps and alleyways and retains a strong historic link with the sea, reminiscent of days gone by with fishermen in small boats and smugglers dodging the excise men. There are stories which associate the village with Robin Hood and the outlaw, including a legend that he fled here and disguised himself as a local fisherman to avoid arrest. This is highly unlikely as it was not until the 15th century that the coastal community was established, long after the time of the famous outlaws of Sherwood Forest. http://www.robin-hoods-bay.co.uk/html/information.htm.
