Popular for photographs, the famous Whalebone Arch marks the start of the west cliff, the beach below was awarded a blue flag in 2019. For those who don't fancy the steep walk down you can use the lift half way along the cliff top or access the beach from Pier Road at the bottom of the whalebone steps.

You can hire a rowing boat and row along the river for a leisurely afternoon break. Steam locomotives also pass through the village station. And there’s a miniature steam railway for children to enjoy.

You can walk along the old railway line to Robin Hoods Bay. The 7 mile route takes about two hours. You can also walk along the cliff top but this is a safer option in my opinion!
Start your route from behind Pannett Park at the top of Flowergate.
