its a rare place.. did you see the section of weapons confiscated from the Leeds fans  

not sure how long your up at Whitby for but its my neck of the woods..

robin hoods bay is only ten mins away and its a lovely little old fishing village with a mint beach!

if you've got kids with you you can go jet hunting at low tide, look behind the big rocks in the cracks and if you walk to the right of the slipway you'll get to an area where the seals breed.. you can walk right up to them

We have stopped in Scarborough. Driving up to whitby today. Will definitely call in at robinhoods Bay .

Nice one I've got a lot of fond memories of the place from  my first school trip to  taking my own kids there regularly as they were growing up.

I use to work in bay hotel at bottom when I was at school and go out on the cobbles doing the nets and pots! Was a great place for a young lad:)

I love anything like that, amazing stuff.

If anyone is ever in Birchington in Kent (near Manston) then a little known gem tucked away is the Cotton Powell museum.

Adventurer, Hunter, collector……it’s out of this world and I would highly recommended it to anyone.

Did you ever go down?A smugglers tunnel/secret entry/exit from a house is a big selling point

I shall visit that sometime, I was lucky enough to be invited to the home in Toronto years ago of a guy TV studios called the real life indiana Jones, he had the largest private collection of shrunken human heads.

It went into a cellar and that had a trap into the tunnel. 
property down the bottom of that village was at London prices 20 year ago.. when the sea was rough it use to flood, strange watching waves go past the front steps

There’s is a chair and a table in there that belonged to Napoleon!

As well as collections of everything from elephants to ants, tribal weapons, art, a massive collection of rifles, pistols, Chinese stuff, Japanese…..just way too much to list mate, it’s amazing.

1 of may favourite books that is basically an inventory of some of the collection, photograph and illustration heavy. Great for outside on warm summer evenings when you cannot be bothered to talk to anyone and most respect that you have your nose studiously buried in a book but in reality getting pleasantly sozzled looking at pictures of guns.
