Walk: Robin Hood's Bay
Robin Hood's Bay (the name of the bay itself and the delightful village at its north end) is a lovely semi circle of sand flanked by cliffs reaching to Ravenscar. 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.

From the top of the steps enjoy the views over Whitby before following the signs for the Cleveland Way as it winds its way along the cliff edge. Pass the smugglers cove at Saltwick Bay (worth exploring if you have time) before arriving at the still working lighthouse after two miles. From here turn inland and continue along quiet lanes back towards Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey will dominate the return, becoming more impressive with every step.
Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay Walk
This coastal walk follows a popular section of the Cleveland Way from Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay. It's a beautiful stretch of coast with pretty bays and cliff top views. The walk runs for about 7 miles on generally good, waymarked footpaths. The Route Start Point: Whitby Finish Point: Robin Hood's Bay Distance: 6.4 miles GPX Route Map whitby-to-robins-hood-bayDownload Walk Description what3words for start point: ///giraffes.lofts.overlaps This walk starts in Whitby on the River Esk and heads to stunning Whitby Abbey. The atmospheric ruined abbey overlooks the North Sea on the East Cliff above Whitby. It's a very photogenic spot with the abbey ruins surrounded by coast, river and countryside. The route continues to Saltwick Bay and the Whitby Lighthouse, before passing Oakham Beck and Rain Dale. Soon after you come to the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay. The village is very picturesque with lots of old fishermen's cottages. You could return the same way or turn it into a circular walk by following a track inland to Hawsker and Stainsacre. The trail can be picked up in the village just to the west of the coast path. To extend your walk you can continue along the coast path to Ravenscar and visit Harwood Dale Forest. There's lots of footpaths and bridleways to explore the coniferous woodland with its pine and spruce trees, streams and ponds. You can also try the Ravenscar to Robin Hoods Bay Circular Walk which perfectly combines some fine inland moorland scenery and the coast. Food & Facilities There are almost no facilities along this route, so it's best to pack a picnic. Once in Robin Hood's Bay, the Victoria Hotel and the Flask Inn both serve food.
