Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

A 6.5-mile circular of just under three hours with 190 metres of ups and downs, heading north from Robin Hood's Bay on the Cleveland Way past Ness Point to Maw Wyke Hole, then turning inland to Hawsker and returning down the level Cinder Track. Park at the top car park above the village on Station Road, because the bank down to the dock is one in three and there is almost nowhere to leave a car at the bottom. The Cinder Track is a wide, well-drained old railway that suits a dog off the lead, but the outward cliff path is unfenced and undercut around Ness Point and the fields between the coast and Hawsker are grazed.

A short shore wander south from Robin Hood's Bay across becks, pebbles and sandy stretches to Boggle Hole, with grey and common seals hauled out further along towards Ravenscar. The YHA cafe at Boggle Hole does nachos ample for sharing and a coffee-and-cake combo before the walk back.

Livestock — leads on Off-lead allowed

A 7.2-mile circular of about three and a quarter hours, south on the Cleveland Way over three steep-stepped ravines to Boggle Hole and Stoupe Beck, then back on the level Cinder Track, with 160 metres of climbing taken almost entirely on steps. Start at the Bank Top pay-and-display car park above the village, since there is nowhere to park at the bottom and the descent into the Bay is punishing on the way back. The Cinder Track return is easy off-lead ground with becks to drink from, but the outward cliff path is unfenced and crosses grazed fields, and the beach route to Boggle Hole is cut off by every tide.

Livestock — leads on

An inland 4.5-mile circular of about two and a half hours behind the village, dropping into the wooded cleft of Ramsdale and climbing back out, 175 metres of ascent on paths that are wet underfoot for much of the year. Start on Thorpe Lane at the top of the Bay, where there is limited free roadside parking, or use the Bank Top car park and add a quarter of a mile. Ramsdale Beck runs clean and shallow and the woods are sheltered on a windy day, but there are half a dozen stiles including two tall stone ones, and sheep are on the fields between Fylingthorpe and the beck almost all year.

The scaurs from the Bay to Boggle Hole

40mCLIMB

80%OFF-ROAD

A 2.4-mile there-and-back of about eighty minutes across the flat rock scaurs of the bay to the beck mouth at Boggle Hole, almost level but slow going over weed-covered ledges and loose boulders that punish careless paws. Start at the slipway at the bottom of the village; park at Bank Top and walk down, and check the tide table posted by the slipway before you set off. The rock pools are full of interest and there is fresh water at Mill Beck, but this is the single most serious tide trap on the walk list, the scaurs are slippery, and there is no way up the cliff between the Bay and Boggle Hole.
