Hayburn Wyke · 2 checked
Boots on. These are the Hayburn Wyke walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
An easy four-mile loop of just under two hours down through the wooded ravine to the waterfall that drops straight onto the boulder beach, then south along the cliff to Roger Trod and back on the Cinder Track, with 140 metres of climbing and a steep flight of steps at the cove. Start at the Hayburn Wyke Inn on the lane off the A171, which allows walkers to park if you use the pub, and the number 115 bus passes the end of the lane. The waterfall pool is a good drink and a cold plunge, the woodland and railway sections are fine off-lead, but the beach is all rounded boulders that are hard on paws and the clifftop south of the wyke is unfenced.
A 7.8-mile circular of about three and a half hours, out from Hayburn Wyke on the level Cinder Track past Staintondale to Ravenscar and the wartime radar station, then back south on the Cleveland Way above Beast Cliff. Park at the Hayburn Wyke Inn on Newlands Road, asking inside first, or at the small roadside space by the nature reserve; the Cinder Track here is the old Scarborough to Whitby railway and is surfaced well enough for a buggy or a stiff-hipped dog. The trackbed is the best off-lead mile on this coast, but the clifftop return is unfenced, wooded and steep in places, and the boulder beach at the wyke where the waterfall drops onto the shore is a scramble not every dog will manage.
