Saltburn-by-the-Sea - Robin Hood's
Bay
From here on the route hugs the coastline, through historic
fishing villages, over high cliffs and along windswept beaches.
From Saltburn the route heads up Hunt Cliff and along a
section of dramatic cliffs to the highest point on the east
of England
at Rock Cliff. This route takes you down to sea level
on three occasions and through the pretty villages of Staithes
and Runswick, ending at the fishing village of Sandsend.
Dramatic coast paths lead onto Whitby, with its fine harbour,
fossil filled cliffs and old town connections with Bram Stoker's
Dracula! A visit must be made to the imposing remains
of Whitby Abbey high above the town.
Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay are separated by an
easy cliff top walk.
Robin Hood's Bay - Filey
Between Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough the route encompasses
ever-changing scenery, with the Flyingdales Moor to the west
and the North Sea to the east. There are three steep
descents and ascents along this path, where the sea interrupts
the cliff top walk.
The arrival into the seaside town of Scarborough will provide you with another type of scenery, with its grand beaches, swish hotels and traditional seaside entertainment!
On leaving Scarborough, notice the vibrant colours from
the South Cliff as you make your way to the final cliff top
trail. The view of continuous coastal cliffs continues
from Cayton Bay until your final destination, Filey. |
