After our morning in Scarborough we visited Robin Hood’s Bay l in the ancient parish of Fylingdales.
A Cemetary at the top of the old village
The Millennium Statue

There were some very pretty gardens at almost turn

Almost back up to the 'new' village
It was nice to enjoy the seaside town on such a nice fall day
