This is the disused railway tunnel. I believe you can open the door but as I had parents and a dog in tow I chose to save that adventure for another day.

The pathway to Robin Hood’s Bay along the old railway line has the added bonus of panoramic views of the coastline.

This is a disused railway bridge, the trains ran through the tunnel until the mid-sixties.

These are the left over sleepers from the railway line.

There isn’t a great deal left at the old brickworks site, but the photo above and those below show what’s left.

Below is a small viaduct that was once part of the old line. We didn’t walk any further than this today, there are likely to be other relics further down the route, but this gives an indication of what once stood. Ravenscar is now a very quiet, isolated location and it’s quite sad to think of the grand plans that were once drawn up for the area. So much work went into building this railway, and I’ve no doubt the brickworkers would have put in many a long day, but ultimately once a regular bus service began along the coast the railway line was all but redundant. Especially with the brighter lights of Whitby and Scarborough luring tourists away.
