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.
A friendly bar tucked into Royal Crescent Court just off The Crescent, moments from the cliff gardens. There are usually dog biscuits at the bar for well-behaved pooches, which tells you everything about the welcome.
Right on Coble Landing by the beach, this relaxed bistro welcomes dogs inside or out on the balcony, with water bowls provided. Note it's a cash-only establishment, so come prepared after your beach walk.
A five-star family park at Gristhorpe, between Scarborough and Filey, where 'dogs are very welcome' — no need to leave one of the family in kennels. There's an enclosed dog park where your dog can come off the lead, meet new friends and do its business, with waste bins provided.
