medusa Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 need to watch yersen in skinningrove tho lol, full of chavs, the "pub" is the type where they all turn and stare at you, a la american werewolf in london it also featured on britains roughest villages or whatever it was called Been there loads of times, stayed there repeatedly and never had problems. We don't tend to drink in pubs though, so maybe that's got something to do with it. If you want to go for a drink and don't fancy that pub, we've always found the Britannia in Loftus (just at the top of the cliff above Skinningrove) very welcoming.

Alcoblog Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 My favourite resort along the coast is Saltburn, which is doing its best to retain some charm and has a lovely pier. The walk from the coast inwards along Skelton Beck is lovely and has lots of little opportunities to stop for a look around. Our favourite beach is not at a resort at all though. Skinningrove is a small fishing community but the north beach is wonderful and unusually for that area of the coast, has parking at sea level rather than at the top of cliffs that you need to climb up and down. If you visit Skinningrove you will need to take everything you need for your visit though, because there's not even a public toilet there. It's lovely to be at the seaside without the smell of chips and popcorn though. Yeah, we're going to Saltburn (we tried to get a holiday let there). Looks great! Saw a programme about the water powered lift, so that's on the list! (even though it's aparrently a 'funny colour' ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even though it's aparrently a 'funny colour' ) if your driving its not too far to drive from whitby, along the coast road to skelton then turn off (near my work lol) then from saltburn its only a quick drive through marske to redcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 There's a vintage steam railway line that runs through Goathland (Heartbeat country) Pickering and ends in Whitby. You can get on and off at any of the little stations along the line. Lovely countryside, and sometimes they have themed weekends like the 1940's weekend when everyone dresses up and they have singing, jitterbugging etc. (Think they also do a barbershop quartet weekend as well.) Good day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janie48 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I also like Runswick Bay. In fact I love most of the areas and lovely scenery on that coastline, with all those unspoilt quant little fishing villages, and all in our own County too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 There's a man that frequents the pubs in Robin Hoods Bay who claims to have a vagina. I ran like no tomorrow upon hearing this from his very mouth, however, I was told he has a tattoo of a lady around his belly button. You probably can guess what the belly button is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
