A Hero's Heart in Robin Hood’s Bay, England

     Here are pictures I took of Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire, where part of A HERO’S HEART is set.  It's a charming old smuggling town.  Click on each picture to see the entire scene.

     The tunnel in my story still exists at Weyfoot.  You have to bend to venture into it, and dodge the sea water in it, and speak if you dare to hear the echoes of contraband smugglers of long ago.
     Some of the red-roofed houses that seem to tumble higgledy-piggledy from the high moor down to the sea actually tumbled, due to erosion.  In one horrendous incident, sixty houses on the cliff top fell crashing into the North Sea! 
    Many cleverly-constructed doors and hatches were built, leading from one house or inn to another, in concealed construction.  It made it possible to load barrels and bundles from a ship and sneak them through the tunnel and through various passage doors.  The goods would not see daylight until they arrived up on the moor, where donkeys waited to rush them away.
     You will be engaged in smuggling activity in this romantic adventure. The upper right picture shows the door of The Fisherman's Arms, where Tricia, Jewel, and Lady Caro stayed, and where the excitement of hiding took place.
