United Kingdom
Cobbled streets, tiny whitewashed cottages tumbling down to a massive expanse of beach, seagulls wheeling - Robin Hood's Bay is a haven of peace. Walk along the cliffs towards Ravenscar, shimmering in the distance, the moors rising above the headland, cloaked in heather. Stroll back along the sands, where there are rock pools and fossils - a happy hunting ground for grown ups and kids.
The light is pearlescent - and the fish & chips at The Bay Hotel very good indeed.
It is worth queuing for an hour to get in here. Unbeatable! The local authority were proposing to fine people for blocking the pavement! I'd happily become a "criminal" to eat here.

Trencher's is a fantastic fish and chip restaurant. It isn't a takeaway - you eat in. The fish and chips are fantastic. Obviously you can't go to Whitby without having fish and chips at least once and I recommend here.

This tapas bar/Spanish restaurant has fantstic food, wine, service and ambience, all for a very reasonable price. Booking is essential as it’s small. We (4 of us) had a fantastic meal with wine for about £100.
