More about this scene

This rocky inlet is reputed to have been used by smugglers. It was said that there was a secret tunnel from here leading to the manor house. The area was once known as Clotune, and was in the manor of Walsgrave. A sandstone quarry above the village is the source of the stone for Scarborough Castle.
