Hull and East Riding Mumbler

We ended our Christmas school holidays with a little getaway to Robin Hoods Bay, here are some of the highlights!
Just an hour and a half drive from Hull but it feels like a different world here.

We've been in Summer with the kids but this time we went on our own! A very very rare thing to happen but really nice to do some decent walks without any moaning.
We walked south on the Cleveland Way coastal path towards Ravenscar one day. The paths have been recently repaired and improved and walking was good underfoot. We stopped at the Boggle Hole YHA for a drink which is an amazing place to try.

The second day we woke to a snowstorm so decided not to walk the coast path but instead used the Cinder Track to walk to Whitby and back. Its 10km each way so you can walk/cycle one way and bus back, or brave both directions. Its a good flat path with incredible views.

We stayed at North Ings - Robin Hood's Bay which was an amazing B&B! It is no kids and no dogs though so sadly we wont be staying in the Summer with the teens and pup (but will be starting to ask now for my mum to babysit again so we can return on our own!).

We had a great meal out at Brambles Bistro and also really enjoyed drinks at the Smugglers, both right by the sea in lower RHB.

Parking in the top car parks is FREE in Winter! Which is a bonus if you want to drive up and go up for a walk at this time of year, or if you are staying in accommodation without parking.
The bus also runs every hour from Scarborough to Whitby and stops at RHB if you need public transport.

I'm sad to be back but already planning our next trip to the North York Moors National Park.

Tranby Independent school in Anlaby are inviting local families to join them for a free event on Saturday 7th February morning - Tranby Tryouts.

If you have a child in years 1 to 6, they are offering them a chance to come into the school to take part in short, enjoyable assessments in English, STEM and Sport, designed to give families helpful insights into their child’s current learning profile.

We went to this event last year and my daughter really enjoyed the morning and being in the school. There is no obligation at all to be looking at the school, it's just a great way for more families to utilise their facilities and experience.
You need to book a place in advance and spaces are limited. Find full details and booking link on Mumbler here - https://hullandeastriding.mumbler.co.uk/event/tranby-tryouts-free-morning-at-tranby-school/

Something to try this January!!
Ambiente Tapas have a restaurant in Hull on Humber Street, Fruit Market Hull, and they now have a NEW restaurant in Beverley on Flemingate.
We popped in to check out the new Beverley venue and try this great January offer - 6 tapas for £25.

My kids have not really had tapas before. One will eat anything, one is a very picky eater, so lots of little dishes sounded like a good plan. We all had the 6 for £25 menu - in hindsight there was a LOT of food! However they both loved trying so many different dishes and flavours.
It was a really different type of meal out and one we all really enjoyed.

Having 6 tapas to choose from meant we all got a few staple favourites but we did experiment and tried some really new things. I was blown away by the amount of food and the quality and variety of the things we ate (they did offer to put the bits we couldn't manage in a take out box!).

The new Beverley venue is stunning, really well decorated with a great atmosphere. We will be back!
The offer runs throughout January. Book in advance on their website here - http://bit.ly/4sn6D0y

Are you planning your holidays for 2026?
We’re really lucky to live in Hull with the ferry to Rotterdam on our doorstep. We’ve been over a few times, with the car to go to a Centre Parcs or Eurocamp in Holland, or as foot passengers.
This was our trip last year on the ferry when we did a road trip including Amsterdam and Duinrell. If you need some holiday inspiration have a read here…..

We're lucky to have the P&O ferry on our doorstep in Hull, it makes a low-cost family holiday abroad. We sailed from Hull to Rotterdam, read all about our road trip
