Beyond the Cafe: Exploring Boggle Hole's Enchanting Delights

Boggle Hole itself is a treasure trove for explorers of all ages. The rockpools teem with fascinating marine life, waiting to be discovered by curious eyes. For the budding paleontologists, there's a chance to unearth hidden treasures amongst the seaweed in the form of fascinating fossils. Don't miss out the intriguing Boggle Cave. Feeling energetic and seeking further adventures? Pick up The Cleveland Way and embark on a scenic hike towards the charming seaside town of Whitby or the dramatic cliffs of Ravenscar. Alternatively, you can tackle the climb back up to the Cinder Track, a disused railway line that has been transformed into a scenic walking and cycling path.

Finding Your Way and Parking

Reaching the Quarterdeck requires a bit of an adventure, adding to its charm. You can access it via three routes:

• Take a walk along Robin Hood's Bay beach
• By a walk along and a descent down the steep steps that lead from The Cleveland Way.
• Navigate the steep road leading down from The Cinder Track.

Parking is available at the top of the Boggle Hole road, but keep in mind it's public and paid parking.

So, the next time you find yourself exploring the beautiful Robin Hood's Bay coastline, don't miss the chance to set sail for a relaxing and delightful experience at Boggle Hole and the Quarterdeck Cafe & Bar. With its warm hospitality, delicious food, stunning location, and the promise of further adventures on your doorstep, it's the ideal place to unwind, refuel, and create lasting memories.
