Cleveland Way
The Cleveland Way is 109 miles/175km long, with points of interest every step of the Way, enjoying the North York Moors and Coast. Starting from the attractive market town of Helmsley, The Cleveland Way heads across the stunning North York Moors, before reaching the coast at Saltburn. From here there’s a visual feast along the dramatic North Yorkshire coastline to Filey, passing through old fishing villages, such as Robin Hood’s Bay and lively coastal towns such as Scarborough and Whitby.
Anyone who is reasonably fit can walk the Cleveland Way. The route is challenging in places, especially on the Cleveland Hills and some of the coastal sections, but this adds to the overall experience. Whilst the route is well-signed throughout, an up-to-date map or GPS mapping is essential.
A great coastal walk. Yes can be windy and very exposed but wonderful sights to be had. Always check the tides if you are wanting to pop down to the many little bays and plan your routes carefully. Personally, I enjoy walking sections for sunrise and sunsets.
