Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Seven miles of heritage-coast clifftop between Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, with bay and beach views for most of the way. It is the classic coastal leg of the Cleveland Way, dropping you into the huddled red roofs of Bay at the far end.

THE SMALL PRINTLead recommended on the clifftops; care and proper footwear needed on the exposed sections.
