At Flamborough the egg industry is a very important 
one. There are vast quantities of birds and a great variety 
of eggs. Beneath Flamborough Head there are a considerable 
number of caves. Leaving Flamborough along the sands 
a distance of live or six miles, we come to Filey. Here the 
sands have a splendid width and stiffness and are so fine that 
motor races are periodically held on them. From Filey we 
can enjoy a fine walk to Spaton and other interesting places 
in the district. Filey has a very aristocratic patronage and 
the place is not a tripper’s resort. 
We then travel along to the beautiful town of Scarborough. 
Here we find a mixed patronage, all classes teeming in their 
hundreds and enjoying the pleasures of this beautiful town. 
It has a fishing season and the Scottish fishing lasses come 
down when this season is on. There is a fine old castle here 
which was built by Stephen. The Hinterland of the coast 
is very picturesque and beautiful and most enjoyable trips 
can be taken across the celebrated Yorkshire moors, which, 
covered with gorse and heather, present a splendid sight. 
We can avail ourselves of a long drive along the valley of 
the Derwent and some pretty and varied scenery is around 
us on all hands. 
The next place we visit is Ravenscar and on our journey 
there by rail a magnificent view of the coast line is obtained. 
Passing the well-known Robin Hood’s Bay we arrive at 
Whitby, a. town which is remarkable for the preservation 
of its quaintness. The River Esk runs through the town. 
Beautiful drives inland can be enjoyed to various places. 
All along this district live a race of bold and hardy fishermen 
with whom it is delightful to converse. 
Proceeding, we come to Staithes and still further on to 
Saltburn. The visitors here come chiefly from Middles- 
borough and the surrounding mining districts. Proceeding 
northwards we reach Redcar on the extreme northern 
Yorkshire coast.
