Dog-friendly walks in Robin Hood’s Bay

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.

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.
