Walk about a mile south from Robin Hood’s Bay along the ‘Cleveland Way’ or on the beach, if the tide is out, to Boggle Hole.

Here the bay in front of the old converted Watermill was once a notorious smugglers’ haunt. Nowadays all ages can enjoy the Jurassic coastline and beachcombers can search for fossils or rockpool life along the shore.

The name comes from boggle, or goblin, which is said to haunt the slopes.
