Dark Skies walk at Robin Hood's Bay
Thursday 23rd February 2023 from 18:45pm to 21:45pm
Robin Hood's Bay Car Park
Robin Hood's Bay Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4QN
Join us for a fabulous walk from the iconic Robin Hood’s Bay to Ravenscar to experience the North York Moors National Park coastline, a designated International Dark Sky Reserve, by night.
This area is renowned for harbouring smugglers, who haul their contraband up from the sea and into a network of tunnels and alleys in Robin Hood Bay under cover of darkness.
Imagine these night-time antics as you walk the paths they may have used, tuning in to the sounds and smells of the sea under a similar inky dark sky.
Venue/meeting place: Victoria Hotel, Robin Hood’s Bay
This event is part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival 2023.
