Dungeon Hole is a prominent coastal feature located in Yorkshire, England. Situated on the Yorkshire coast, this remarkable headland is positioned between the towns of Whitby and Scarborough. Known for its rugged beauty, Dungeon Hole offers breathtaking views of the North Sea.

As a headland, Dungeon Hole juts out into the sea, forming a distinctive point along the coastline. The name "Dungeon Hole" is derived from the steep cliffs and caves that characterize the area. These natural features have been eroded by the relentless force of the sea over centuries, resulting in a fascinating network of caves and tunnels.

The cliffs at Dungeon Hole are composed of layers of sedimentary rock, displaying a rich geological history. Fossils dating back millions of years can be found embedded within the rock formations, providing valuable insights into the region's past.

The headland is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers due to its stunning vistas and diverse wildlife. Visitors can witness a wide array of seabirds nesting along the cliffs, including fulmars, kittiwakes, and guillemots. The surrounding waters are home to seals and occasionally dolphins, adding to the allure of this coastal gem.

Access to Dungeon Hole is facilitated by well-maintained footpaths and trails, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors. Nearby amenities, such as parking facilities and visitor centers, provide convenience and information for those exploring the area.

Dungeon Hole, with its striking cliffs, captivating caves, and abundant wildlife, offers a unique coastal experience in the picturesque setting of Yorkshire.

Inscription: On the 18th January 1881 the Brig “VISITER” ran ashore in Robin Hood's Bay. No local boat could be launched on account of the violence of the storm, so the Whitby lifeboat was brought overland past this point ~ a distance of 6 miles ~ through snowdrifts
