At the eastern edge of the National Park the land meets the North Sea. For thousands of years rain, ice, wind and waves have carved and shaped this coastline into the scenery we see today. Here you will find sandy beaches, rocky shores, towering cliffs, steep wooded valleys or 'wykes', sheltered bays and fascinating villages. Along this coastline there are many seaside villages with higgledy piggledy cottages and narrow, winding streets clinging onto the cliffs. The villages developed because of the fishing industry. There are only a few fishermen left now but many local people make a living from hotels, cafés, shops and other services for the tourists who visit the coast. Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes are popular villages (or honey pot sites) for visitors. Find out more at: www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/film View more of our films at: www.classlane.co.uk/
