Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill.
A 2.4-mile there-and-back of about eighty minutes across the flat rock scaurs of the bay to the beck mouth at Boggle Hole, almost level but slow going over weed-covered ledges and loose boulders that punish careless paws. Start at the slipway at the bottom of the village; park at Bank Top and walk down, and check the tide table posted by the slipway before you set off. The rock pools are full of interest and there is fresh water at Mill Beck, but this is the single most serious tide trap on the walk list, the scaurs are slippery, and there is no way up the cliff between the Bay and Boggle Hole.
A cosy village bistro that welcomes one well-behaved dog per party, though space is tight so large dogs cannot be accommodated. Booking ahead is recommended, particularly in season.
A clifftop Victorian hotel at the top of the village with dedicated dog-friendly rooms in The Captain's Quarters, at £10 per dog per night. Dog bowls, a blanket and treats are laid out for your dog before you arrive, and the beach is a ten-minute amble down through the village.
A quiet family-run park at Fylingthorpe, a stroll across the fields from Robin Hood's Bay itself. Dogs are welcome on the condition they stay on a short lead and are never left unattended.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
