  • We have just fallen in love with Robin Hoods Bay. The Yorkshire tour continues.
    We enjoyed our stay at the working farm campsite 'Hooks House Farm' with its amazing views which is just a short walk from Robin Hoods Bay.
    The hills are steep, so be prepared but we walked to the bottom of the bay every day we were there and each visit is just as magical as the first.
    We also took time to visit nearby Whitby & Goathland (Heartbeat film set) which we will bring you in our next video.
    We hope you enjoy this Vlog, please subscribe, like and leave a comment (it's free) and hit the notification bell so you know each time we publish another video.
    Thanks for watching!
    Cheers,
    Helen & Dave

    The last time I went to camp here it used to open all year round, I loved camping in December for our wedding anniversary. I arrived without checking and got told they no longer did all year round camping, we went off site to assess the situation and I then got a phone call telling me my father had deceased that morning and had to drive home. I have mixed emotions about this site , we had happy camping and times that we packed up before one night because of children kicking footballs on the tent. All I would say is try it for yourself 😊

    Great vlog Helen and Dave. I loved seeing the Bay from above. We stay here every Easter Wk end at the Middlewood Farm Holiday Park (YO22 4UF). It's a lovely part of the UK, but I would say that being a Yorkshire lad. We love to cycle on the Cinder track all the way into Whitby. And also the opposite way to Ravenscar and beyond. So much to do and see in one wk end, that's why we always return yr after yr. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next vlog.
