Welcome to Ravenscar

Ravenscar is a small coastal village located in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. It is situated on the cliffs overlooking the North Sea and offers stunning views of the coastline. The village was originally developed as a holiday resort in the early 20th century, but it never really took off and today it is a quiet and peaceful place to visit.

One of the main attractions of Ravenscar is the Cleveland Way, a long-distance footpath that runs along the coast and through the village. The path offers some of the most spectacular views in the area and is a popular destination for walkers and hikers. Ravenscar is also home to the Ravenscar Visitor Centre, which provides information about the local area and the history of the village.

Another interesting feature of Ravenscar is the remains of the alum works that were once located in the area. Alum was a valuable mineral used in the textile industry and Ravenscar was one of the main centres of production in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the alum works and learn about the history of this important industry. Overall, Ravenscar is a charming and picturesque village that offers a unique glimpse into the history and natural beauty of the North Yorkshire coast.
