A 3.4-mile circular of about an hour and three quarters down to the sands, north along the bay and up through the National Trust woods onto Knipe Point, returning over Osgodby Hill, with 145 metres of climbing and two long flights of wooden steps. Start at the Cayton Bay car park off the A165, where there is a barrier car park by the surf shop and free parking on the stub of the old road, with the number 12 bus stopping on the main road. Cayton Bay is open to dogs all year and there is a beck across the sands to drink from, but the woods are steep and slippery, the clifftop at Knipe Point is actively slipping with houses lost to it, and a short link follows the A165 verge.

Livestock — leads on

An easy 4.8-mile circular of about two and a quarter hours over the flat farmland behind the coast, through Killerby and along the drains of Cayton Carr, only 95 metres of climbing but heavy clay underfoot from November to March. Start by St John the Baptist church on Church Lane in Cayton, where there is free roadside parking, and the number 12 bus from Scarborough stops on Main Street. The carr drains give water most of the year and there are long, quiet field-edge stretches, but cattle are usually out between Killerby and the Carr, several boundaries have stiles, and half a mile is on the lane through Killerby with no pavement.
