Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, 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 7.3-mile circular of about three hours with only 90 metres of climbing, running south from Filey along the firm sands of Filey Bay past the wartime pillboxes to Hunmanby Gap, then back on the clifftop path above the bay. Start near Murray Street in the town or at the Coble Landing, both pay-and-display, and note that Filey station sits on the Yorkshire Coast line from Scarborough and Hull. Filey's central beach bans dogs in summer, so between May and September join the sands south of the Coble Landing; beyond that the beach is wide and quiet and a fine off-lead run, but the boulder clay cliffs are soft and the tide comes right up to them at the Filey end.

THE SMALL PRINTFiley beach is closed to dogs from 1 May to 30 September on the signed central stretch, running from the southern end of the sea wall at Royal Parade to the slipway that separates the Coble Landing from the Promenade, under North Yorkshire Council's dog control order. Between those dates walk south from the far side of the Coble Landing towards Hunmanby Gap, or north under Carr Naze to Filey Brigg, both open to dogs all year.
