This picturesque village
resort is something of a suntrap and stands in
one of Yorkshire’s most handsome bays. It is
sheltered from the strongest weather by
spectacular cliffs but was not always so
fortunate. In the 17th century the village was
virtually washed away. Nearby Kettleness is a
headland that has become a nesting site for
many seabirds. The ‘Hob Holes’ are caves which
resulted from the mining of jet.
