Royal Oak, North Yorkshire

Royal Oak is an area in North Yorkshire, England, between Scarborough and Bridlington, next to Filey and Hunmanby. The place itself is marked by a public house, also named The Royal Oak[1] and a railway crossing on the Yorkshire Coast Line listed as being 43 miles 4 chains (69.3 km) north of Hull Paragon station.[2][3] Two railway junctions that formed a spur to the railway station at Filey Holiday Camp were also located just to the south of the A165 crossing. These were known as the Royal Oak Junctions.[4]

It is home to a string of bungalows, which would look pretty painted different colours, and across the A165 is a blue house which was formerly the Gate keepers Cottage. In front of the inn is the location of a deserted medieval village known as Fowthorpe.[5][6] It was historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.
