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.

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.

THE SMALL PRINTShort lead advised on the unfenced clifftop sections; leash up when cyclists or horse-riders pass on the old railway line.

Livestock — leads on

A 5.2-mile circular of about two and three quarter hours out through the hamlet of Cloughton Newlands to the little headlands at Court Green Head and Hundale Point, returning south along the Cleveland Way above Cloughton Wyke, with 180 metres of climbing and field paths that hold water all winter. Start by the village hall in Cloughton, with free roadside parking on Newlands Road and the number 115 bus from Scarborough stopping in the village. The clifftop turf is springy and open, but there is no fence between the path and a 40-metre drop, cattle are usually in the fields between the village and the coast, and the only water is at the beck by Hundale.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

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.
