Tucked away on the Yorkshire coast is a town called Robin Hood's Bay. Despite its chocolate box beauty, cobbled streets and quaint harbour, the clue is very much in the name, for in the 18th century the mile-long bay was Britain's most badass smuggling spot. Practically everyone in the town, women, children and clergymen included, were part of a smuggling ring that saw contraband delivered in the dead of night and hidden away in safehouses. The main loot was booze, tobacco and, this being Yorkshire, tea. This led to vicious gun battles at sea between the smugglers and excise men working on behalf of the monarchy, and to this day a series of tunnels still exists beneath the town through which the visitor is invited to wander.
