Walk: Robin Hood's Bay

The Route what3words for start point: ///ditching.bluffs.political Start Point: Upper Robin Hood's Bay Finish Point: Robin Hood's Bay Distance: 7.5 Miles Getting there Robin Hood's Bay is best accessed by car with a public car park located at the top of the village. GPX Route Map robinhoodsbay-1Download Walk Description Start the walk by descending through the narrow streets of this old smugglers village before leaving it near the beach. Follow the Cleveland Way signs past the well, named Boggle Hole, to the end of the bay. Climb steeply up the path through fields to Ravenscar and the wonderfully situated hotel overlooking the cliff edge. To vary the return follow the Old Railway line inland before descending back in to the bay. It is perfectly possible (outside high tide) to spend some of the walk near the village on the beach itself. This is a perfect walk to add to your #WalkshireWishlist for the Spring or Autumn seasons, as the wetter weather can make the terrain muddier and the route more challenging than usual. Lunch The Victoria Hotel and the Flask Inn both serve food.

Walk: Lyke Wake Walk
The Lyke Wake Walk is a challenging long-distance path in North Yorkshire, England, spanning approximately 40 miles (64 km) across the North York Moors National Park. The route traditionally begins near Osmotherley on the western edge of the moors and ends at the coastal town of Ravenscar on the eastern side. The Route what3words for start point: ///tilting.gladiator.march Start Point: Quarry Ln, Osmotherley, Northallerton DL6 3AL Finish Point: Ravenscar Distance: 40 miles GPX Route Map lykewakewalkDownload Walk Description The trail, established in 1955 by local farmer Bill Cowley, is named after the "Lyke Wake Dirge," a 14th-century funeral song. The dirge reflects on the soul's journey from Earth to the afterlife, a metaphor fitting for the traverse across the stark, expansive moorland. The walk is marked by diverse terrains, starting with the rolling hills near Osmotherley. It then ascends to the high, flat moorland plateau, characterized by peat bogs and heather expanses, offering panoramic views across the moors. The path crosses several forested areas and passes near or through notable landmarks such as the Wainstones, a distinctive rock formation, and the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge, one of the highest public houses in England. As walkers approach the eastern edge of the moors, the terrain descends through more wooded areas before reaching the dramatic cliffs above Ravenscar, looking out over the North Sea. The route is renowned not only for its natural beauty but also for its historical and archaeological significance, featuring ancient standing stones and burial mounds. Completing the Lyke Wake Walk within 24 hours is a popular challenge among hikers, often undertaken as part of a group. Those who accomplish this feat are humorously referred to as "Dirgers" in homage to the walk’s funereal namesake.
