This group of coastal properties extends for 40ml from Saltburn in the north to Filey in the south, centred around Robin Hood’s Bay. The Cleveland Way National Trail follows the clifftop and gives splendid views. A wide range of habitats – meadow, woodland, coastal heath and cliff grassland – provides sanctuary to many forms of wildlife, from orchids to nesting birds. The area is rich in industrial archaeology and the remains of the alum industry and jet and ironstone mining can be seen. The Old Coastguard Station in Robin Hood’s Bay, an exciting exhibition and education centre, is run in partnership with the North York Moors National Park Authority. It shows how the elements have shaped this part of the coastline.
