My friend and i visited last week (16th July 2020). We had a cup of coffee each, and sat outside in the nice sunshine. Social distancing means one at a time at the counter. There were a few seats inside. Quick and friendly service and nice coffee. The centre itself was open but on this occasion we didnt visit, though have done in the past and its well worth a quick look round.

The Robin Hood's Bay Ghost Walk

The Original Robin Hood’s Bay Ghost Walk. Take a Unique Tour through Streets and Alleyways as you listen to Tales of the Strange and Supernatural set against a background of Smugglers, Sailors and Shipwrecks, Folklore and Legend. Meet at the Slipway in the Dock outside the Visitor Centre. Dates and times are published on Facebook and the website. There is also a Board showing times, next to the Slipway on days of Walks. This walk is designed to suit most ages. Content for adult only groups will be slightly different to groups with children. But overall it is to amuse, entertain, to be thought provoking and informative. However, the walk is not suitable for small infants (under 3), babies and pushchairs. Only very quiet well behaved dogs please.

Goathland Station

Reviewed By juleslovesnyc - Harlow, United Kingdom

We visited Goathland and the North Yorkshire Moors railway and I’m so pleased that we did, the station is full of historical items and posters from the bygone era, the staff are very knowledgeable and will chat to you telling you about the history of the station, The steam train from Pickering to Grosmont which is the next station up is an absolute must if you can go on it id highly recommend it, The train is one of those that was used for filming in Harry Potter so the children will be overjoyed to do this trip, We loved visiting here it was lovely to see the sheep roaming free on the moors and also the Public house and scripps garage used for filming the series Heartbeat You honestly won’t be disappointed for stopping off here it’s truly beautiful

Robin Hoods Bay Beach

Reviewed By Micasa312020

A busy beach used by families and dog walkers alike and is surrounded by cliffs with a great view around the cove. A ring of rocks is exposed with the tide recedes which is is taken advantage of by all including shellfish hunters and children searching rock pools all armed with buckets. When the tide returns look out for the ice cream van who leaves his escape from the beach as late as he can resulting in a drive through the oncoming waves and across rocks back to the causeway! If you log on to rhb live cam you are able to see live pictures from 3 positions, indeed if you select the camera showing the causeway and head over there you could wave to you family and friends! The pub on the causeway is the Bay hotel and is recommended.
