Extract from the Robin Hood's Bay Travel Guides:
Although known as Robbyn Huddes Bay as early as Tudor times, there's nothing except half-remembered myth to link
ROBIN HOOD'S BAY
with Sherwood's legendary bowman - locals anyway prefer the old name, Bay Town or simply Bay. Perhaps the best-known and most heavily visited spot on the coast, the village fully lives up to its reputation, with narrow streets and pink-tiled cottages toppling down the cliff-edge site, evoking the romance of a time when this was both a hard-bitten fishing community and smugglers' den
par excellence
. From the upper village, lined with Victorian villas, now mostly B&Bs, it's a 1-in-3 walk... read the whole Robin Hood's Bay Travel Guides...
