North Landing provides an excellent place to explore the caves and rock pools at low tide. On the left hand corner of the bay you can see an old rusty boiler. These are the only remains of the Admiralty Refuelling Collier "Rosa" which was driven ashore on 28th April 1930. The number one Flamborough lifeboat rescued the crew of 16. During this period Flamborough had two lifeboats, number one at North Landing and number two at South Landing.
On the right hand side of the bay you can explore "Robin Lythes" cave. This cave is the largest on the coast and has openings at two side of the cliff. It is named after the leading male character in the novel "Mary Annerly" by R. D. Blackmore (author of Lorna Doone).
During the summer season half hour sight seeing cruises are available which visit other famous caves around Flamborough and also provide superb opportunities for sea bird viewing. No booking is required for these - just turn up. Fishing trips are also available (weather permitting) and leave daily between 1pm and 4pm. The local fishing grounds are right on the doorstep. Special trips can also be arranged to suit any requirements (i.e. Bird watching trips, scattering ashes etc.)
If you would like further information or to make a booking please ring either (01262) 850575 or (01262) 850704.
