D
Robin Lythe’s Cave, East Yorkshire
Looking for a sense of magic? Something mysterious with a little danger? Possibly filled with ghosts (鬼魂)? And free of charge? Robin Lythe’s Cave will provide everything you need—if the sea level’s low. To get there, you walk down from the car park and take the road on the right. Watch out, in spring, for the hundredsof seabirds nesting on the rocks. If the sea level is low, you will be able to see a carve entrance. Climb up and enter. You are now inside the first section of the cave, called Flamborough Head. For centuries, this section has been famous for eating ships and smugglers (走私者) that sailed too close during high sea levels. At its height of greediness, between 1770 and 1806, it took one ship every 10 weeks on average.
The cave’s path then leads through a wet frightening passage into a wonderful curving hall, 15 metres high. From there you can see a distant light, the sea. Smugglers used to bring their goods up here and hide them—French wine and tobacco mostly. At other times, locals would find bodies washed in during storms, and one, so they say, was Robin Lythe. Maybe he was a smuggler too, and maybe he is still around. There are regular reports of ghosts walking through the cave carrying bottles of wine.
When the sea level is very low, it’s safe to explore around the cave entrance area, but don’t stay too long!
Back on the cliff there are excellent walks south, past the lighthouse, to the long beach that leads towards Bridlington. Watch out for the short-eared owls hunting around here. There are mysteries here too: Dane’s Dyke, a huge wall-base that no onehas ever properly explained; and the strange white stoneson the beach—great for building an even stranger sand castle.
