Whitby to Scarborough

 13th September

A beautiful sunny morning and and the temperature was reasonable, stayed good all day.

Scarborough from the hostel window 

Breakfast at the Hostel then back to the coast path.

Coastal erosion 

Another great day with fantastic views and quite a lot of up and down to keep it interesting.

Robin Hood's Bay is really interesting with its steep, narrow streets leading down to the sea with no real harbour.

Robin Hood's Bay

Very full of tourists but the old Post Office Café had space and a nice pot of tea.

There are no other places on the coast path until Scarborough, just lots of lovvely cliffs.

And steep, deep gully's between cliffs

And more cliffs, then a little National Trust tea shop at Ravenscar (didn't take a picture)

 

and more cliffs

then Scarborough North Bay where the Cleveland Way follows the marine drive around the headland below the castle.

Scarborough Castle 

The Harbour on the south side is where all the 'amusements' are.

But it is also a 'proper' harbour.

I stopped at the King Richard the Third pub and arranged to meet Jack and Jasmine who were putting up with me for the night.
