The Smugglers Tunnels below Robin Hoods Bay
Join me as i revisit an old favourite. Below Robin Hoods Bay in Yorkshire there are a series of passages and tunnels each linked to the history of Smuggling.
The Kings Beck - You may have seen the dark eerie portal on a visit to Robin Hoods Bay in the past but have you ever wondered where it goes to or what it was once used for?

Hi Ant, thanks for another good one.
Wow!! Your photos are amazing.. great interesting video x
Thanks very much Barb 🙂
My nan used to love going to Whitby for her holidays thanks for sharing your journey with us 😍
Interesting colours as you entered.
"I physically can't go any further than this" proceeds to go further 😂
It's edge of your seat stuff 😂😂
This was just amazing
Amazing thanks !!
Amazing place! Above and below ground. Thanks, never would of seen that otherwise. From Canada!
Thanks very much John Glad you enjoyed it
Great place North Yorkshire, can't get enough of it, good job as I live here!
Plenty of places for me to go back for
great welldone to you
Many thanks for showing us examples of early civil engineering. It was well worth the very wet foot!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much
I'm in Flamborough at the moment, definitely worth a look, thank you and an amazing video 😀😀
Great stuff , I would have been tempted to bang on those floorboards! Thanks for taking us along.
Ha ha ha if you listen you can hear them 😂
Great work
Thanks very much 🙂
Omg I never knew they were there not that I would venture down there.
Brave man
Oh wow how awesome was that. The stone and brickwork were fabulous. Having blue brick as well, fantastic.. what a tunnel that is. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Are you ever tempted to knock on the wooden floors, and wait for an answering bang? I have a funny tale to tell about my grandparents when they were still living in Newcastle, but I'll save it for another time. The innocent fun that can be had under wooden floors! Great photography as always. Never get bored of it. Cheero. Kim 🤓👍
Great explore Ant. Brilliant pics too. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Chris thanks very much 😊
Just think, "If those walls could only talk --- the stories they could tell." At 13:22 what is that little black box to the left of the opening? What a fun way to spend a day, thanks for posting........
Loved that Ant. Been there many times but never ventured up the tunnel. Don't have to now.
Glad you enjoyed it Steve and thank you
Thanks for another cracking video Ant! RHB is a place I keep meaning to visit!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you. I hope you go soon 🙂
@@TrekkingExploration Can you supply any solid evidence of Smuggling linked to these caves? Not stories passed down and written down.. Actual solid evidence?
If you do not have any then perhaps you shouldn't call them smugglers caves. Just some advice for you as making claims that are unproven on social media can get you into trouble these days apparently.
@@backupintheday9710 go back to sleep. My channel my rules
Your camera takes amazing pics,. when your underground. They add to the video a lot.Great stuff. All the best.
Thanks very much Tim 😊
Culverts? I love culverts 😍😍😍
Good, me too 🙂🙂
Fascinating as always.. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us 👍😀
Cheers guy's thanks very much ☺️
Mate that looks mint I've been around there and never knew that was there how high was the tunnel it looks very low 🤔 absolutely cracking video I enjoyed this
I don't often comment on videos but this is a superb one!
Thanks very much Mike very kind
Glad you went back and went up the other tunnel, fascinating, lots of history but the modern drains intrude a bit!!!! I see the rat catcher gets down there!!!! Nice and enthusiastic as ever Ant👍👍👍👍👍
Wow what explore I've been to Robin hoods bay I knew that culvert existed you just don't know what's underneath your feet when walking there.we are going there on holiday we will go there just wandering were that culvert comes out in the village I will look out for it when we visit in the summer
I've been to Robin Hoods bay a few times but never knew that that tunnel continued so far in.
It's a nice little location to escape the busy tourists 😂🙂
Nice video Ant, seen something about those tunnels before, can't remember where though.
Cheers Chris. It was probably me a couple of years ago 🤣
Found a few silver sixpences in that tunnel, and plenty of other coins; couldn't get them all out so perhaps look out for them next time you visit. With regards the smugglers, I think they mostly used other tunnels, the entrances to which are walled up now behind the sea defense wall. The tunnels linked up with cellars, and often when one of the old houses is renovated, there's bricked up doorways to be seen behind studwork. Love your videos. 🙂
Perhaps some of those newer brick structures near the end used to be accesses for buildings above?
Fantastic mate 👏
Thanks Pete much appreciated 🙂
Well done that man.
Cheers very much 🙂
What fabulous tunnels. The filming and colours superb and I just loved the music. At the end I thought Jack Sparrow will jump out any second. Thanks Ant another masterpiece.
I was half expecting him to stumble upon Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton's characters from 'Beauty and the Beast'.
What an amazing place! I wonder if the people above you noticed your torchlight shining between their floorboards. What would they have been thinking?
Thank you for the unique tour today. A possible dangerous one if you are not very careful, as you were. As always, the video was eye opening. Enjoy the weekend, and see you on the next! Cheers Ant! 😊
A marvellous construction in the from of these passageways, Ant. The stones are quite large in places and well set. Interesting to watch and so, many thanks for sharing this video.
Oh I've heard about these!!! - Sometime they end up into some one house!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂
Imagine just popping up in someone's front room 😂😂
@@TrekkingExploration Yeah - the had cupboard with a floor which was a 'secret' entrance to the tunnels!!! 😀🚂🚂🚂
Used to be the old sewers as well
I imagine that's the concrete section on the right side going up? Thank you for watching 🙂
I like the psychedelic colours. Especially @1:09
great video. if your every in north Yorkshire look me up. i would love to do something like this. there a lot of ironstone mines in the area near me. would like someone to explore the sites with.
Following above ground features I would guess that the orange pipe belongs to the manhole on the road above it and the other 2 pipes are water mains as there are a few water covers on the road above. Then the interesting part. Your side tunnel seems to follow the direction under the Smugglers Pub. The rest I leave to your imagination :) Great explore :D x
Hmm, I'm not sure that smugglers would build a purpose built tunnel with all that stonework. Looks more like a drainage sluice that they may have utilised.
No they didn't build it they used it
Proof of Smugglers being the reason for the tunnel is required.
No it's not. Unless it's keeping you awake at night.
if walls could tell tales ant
Absolutely 😁
If it’s a smugglers tunnel why is there a river going through it.
It was built for the brook flowing through but possibly later utilised by them
