Description for Streonshalh, Robin Hoods Bay -
Streonshalh B&B is nestled atop the cliffs of Robin Hood's Bay, situated in the dramatic and rugged scenery of the North Yorkshire coastline. Robin Hoods Bay is probably one of the most picturesque fishing villages in the country. The village is set amongst a network of steeply sloping streets, steps and alleyways and retains a strong historic link with the sea, reminiscent of days gone by with fishermen in small boats and smugglers dodging the excise men. The origins of the name are unknown but there are many speculations. The name does not appear in any records until the sixteenth century, although it is sometimes known as 'Baytown'.
