The enchanting woodland walk From Maybeck to Littlebeck is 1 mile away, which leads to the Falling Foss waterfall and tea rooms. The renowned cliff top walk between Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby is among the many delightful footpaths that are near to us. The night sky at Manor Farm is amazing with very little light pollution, shooting stars are seen regularly. We enjoy spectacular sunsets all year but especially between May and October. You can sit and relax watching our wonderful panoramic sea views for hours or the sun setting over Whitby Abbey and Sandsend cliffs. The farm is 1 mile from Hawsker village, Robin Hoods Bay beach is a 10 minute drive away or 50 minute walk. We are approximately 4 miles from Whitby town centre and Sandsend beach. It is only 5 minutes drive from Whitby Abbey and Whitby brewery (3.5 miles).
