It’s a 21 mile path along the coast from Whitby to Scarborough. The path is almost flat and is nicely covered in trees offering shade.
Loved being able to walk this track. It’s well used, felt incredibly safe and had some lovely views along the way.
This is a fantastic track with multiple tracks meandering off it if you want to make little detours. We walked from the start of the track in Whitby to Robins hood bay, where it meets the Cleveland Way. Really easy flat walk (It can get icy in the winter months at it's highest point). Stunning views from the Larpool via duct and amazing sea views the nearer you get to Robins Hood Bay where you can get a well deserved drink and bite to eat in the Bay pub at the bottom of the hill. It's about 6.5 miles and suitable for families and most fitness levels.
Slight incline to Robins hood bay, RHB lovely place to visit and good on the return as mostly downhill
Went from Whitby to Ravonscar and back, stunning views and fantastic countryside, can't wait to do the rest of it to Scarborough.
