Boggle Hole Youth Hostel (YHA). Boggle Hole, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, England: The Youth Hostel (YHA) at Boggle Hole nestles in a ravine with a dramatic entrance from the beach from which Robin Hoods Bay can be seen in the distance.
The cleft in which Boggle Hole Youth Hostel nestles!
RHB getting nearer.
the 'Bay' is good safe bathing place, fine weather, but a bit cold today!
Robin Hoods Bay clings to the cliffside.
The slipway and the Bay Hotel - good pub for folk music.
The entrance to Wainwright's Bar - the official end of his justly famous 'Coast to Coast Walk' of 192 miles.
Lots of narrow streets lead up through this little fishing village.
On the left are massive concrete sea defence walls protecting the cottages of Robin Hood's Bay, and they are needed to stop the cliffs and RHB being washed away!
There are several good pubs and cafes like the Swell to obtain refreshment in Robin Hood's Bay.
Great views from the Swell Cafe.
Lots of pretty red-roofed cottages.
The 'Bay' with its characteristic curved rock striations.
Bye Bye Robin Hood's Bay as we set off to return to Ravenscar on this lovely walking day.
The cliffs of Ravenscar ahead, on top is Raven Hall Country House.
Its that sheep again!
Robin Hood's Bay and the cliffs of Ravenscar, on which Raven Halls sits!
The Raven Hotel - quite a setting.
Low Peak house again! To do with alum works originally.
Back up to the parked car in Ravenscar, but no departure until a cup of tea and piece of cake! This is the road down to the National Trust holiday cottages of "Chapel Cottage" and "High Peak" The above pictures and text describes a walk retracing your steps back to Ravenscar, but you can return from Boggle Hole (omitting RHB) using a circular route involving the old railway trackbed of the Whitby - Scarborough railway line. This is described below.
You climb up the road up and above the YHA youth hostel of Boggle Hole - looking much more upmarket these days!
You then take a path to the left from the lane and walk across fields and under and onto the old railway track bed.
You then walk along the path that was once the Whitby to Scarborough Railway, under several bridges back to Ravenscar
Finally you drop down the road to Ravenscar to the small cafe and information centre. Some places to stay and eat!

A very 'moody' scene at Robin Hoods Bay
Below: The National Trust's 'High Peak' holiday cottage at Ravenscar, near Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire
The pictures of High Peak Cottage were taken in December 2019 when the weather was a bit cloudy! More on Raven Hall Country House Hotel (pictures taken in December 2019 weather!) Raven Hall good parking, gardens to explore via several paths, panoramic eating rooms and panoramic restaurant
The seaside resort of Ravenscar that never was!
The seaside resort that never was:
At the turn of the 19th–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 almost no houses.
The seaside resort of Ravenscar that never was! Ravenscar WW2 Radar Station
The Tea rooms are one of the few houses built that was to be part of a great seaside spa town 'fed' by the railway - BUT it all never happened, so Ravenscar is the town that never was, and it s all explained on a visitor information board on the old railway station platform.
