Our Parish of Fylingdales lies on the East coast of North Yorkshire. The Parish stretches along the coastline from just outside Hawsker, some 6 miles south of Whitby, south, almost to Ravenscar, and west to Foulsyke. This area includes some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.
Fylingdales is home to approximately 1200 residents and welcomes considerably more than that number of tourists annually.
Most of us live in or with easy access to Robin Hoods Bay, a centuries-old village nestling amongst steep cliffs and famous for its narrow, winding streets, the variety of good pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops, and, of course, our fishing and smuggling traditions.
We are a thriving community with most of what we need almost on our doorsteps. You will find good local schools, active churches, excellent surgery, and clubs and activities for all ages and interests.
Outside the village, we enjoy a variety of trails and paths across moorland, through woodlands, over cliff tops or following the former railway line that crosses the parish as it runs along the coast, between Whitby to the North and Scarborough to the South. We also love to amble along the beach, perhaps exploring rockpools, watching the shore birds – but always wary of the unstable cliffs and conscious of the tides. Incoming tides can take you by surprise. Always check the tide times before wandering too far.
Get your copy of the Tide Times in local shops or go to the BBC website - www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast-and-sea/tide-tables/4/184
