Saturday 23rd May Robin Hoods Bay – Ravenscar

Family weekend away at Robin Hoods Bay. Did this walk with Anne along part of the Cleveland Way.

Just after here the path drops down to Boggle Hole

I love this woman

From Robin Hoods Bay old town the cliff path is an easy (well relatively !!)  stepped climb to the top. The well defined path then meanders its way along the cliff top, dropping down to the beach at Boggle Hole and the climbing back again. This drop and climb was then repeated near Stoupe Bank. From there it is steady climb across lovely countryside to Ravenscar, with the track taking us through the ruins of the Alum Mines. Unfortunately for Anne , all th ups and downs put strain on her recovering sprained ankle , so by the time we got to Ravenscar she was using the walking poles and was in some pain. We stopped for a late lunch at the tea rooms and because they were so inept (forgot our order) , we had sat for qite some time which meant Anne’s ankle had a good rest.

We retraced our steps back to the dip in the cliff path at Stoup Bank , and from there strolled back along the beach all the way back to Robin Hoods bay which was perfect for a sore ankle.

A brilliant and varied walk, with outstanding views all the way.
