A five-mile loop from Cloughton Station along the Cleveland Way clifftops to Hayburn Wyke, a wooded valley hiding a rocky cove where a waterfall tumbles over giant boulders onto the beach. The return leg ambles back along the level track-bed of the old Scarborough to Whitby railway.
A 6.7-mile circular of about three hours with only 140 metres of climbing, out to the flat rock scars of Cloughton Wyke, north along the clifftop past Roger Trod and Hundale Point to Hayburn Wyke, and back down the Cinder Track. Park at the Cinder Track car park by Cloughton old station, signed off the A171 in the village, where the 12 and 13 buses from Scarborough also stop. The clifftop path is famously muddy even in high summer and runs unfenced along a crumbling edge, but the old railway back is wide and gated for off-lead running, and the rock pools at Cloughton Wyke are a fine place for a dog to paddle at low water.
