Bent Rigg Radar Station, (also known as Royal Air Force Ravenscar) was a World War II radar station situated on the coast about 1km south of Ravenscar in Yorkshire. The station was built in 1941 and was operational until September 1944.
Some of the structure remain close to the cliff edge with the foundations of the accommodation blocks being visible close to the route of the old Scarborough and Whitby Railway. It is a schedule monument.

National Route 1 of the National Cycle Network is a long distance cycle route connecting Dover and the Shetland Islands mainly via the east coast of England and Scotland. The route is all signed and open except between London and Woodbridge (in Suffolk) and between Whitby and Staithes (in Yorkshire).

The railway line between Scarborough and Whitby was opened in 1885 and was very popular with holiday makers. It opened up the North Yorkshire coastline to tourists. It was closed in 1965. The route now is a cinder track and forms part of National cycleway 1 (Dover to John O' Groats). It is also a popular walking trail. A full history of the line can be read at Link
