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.

Directions to the start →

Ten mildly undulating miles shadowing the River Esk from Egton Bridge to the sea at Whitby, on good paths, old toll roads and field tracks. There is a steepish dip and climb over a disused railway line near the end, and the village train makes it an easy one-way walk.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead; cattle and sheep were in the fields when the route was checked.
