Directions to the start →

A short 3.1-mile circular of about ninety minutes out along the whaleback of Carr Naze to the tip of the Brigg, then down the ravine to the sands and back through town, with 105 metres of climbing and a rough scramble over rock ledges at the far end. Start at the Country Park car park on Church Cliff Drive, which is open around the clock and sits at the end of both the Cleveland Way and the Yorkshire Wolds Way. The clifftop grass is fine open ground for a dog, but the Brigg itself is a serious tide trap that covers on a rising sea, the seaward edge of Carr Naze is unfenced above a 30-metre drop, and the rock pools cut soft pads.

THE SMALL PRINTFiley Brigg is a tide trap. The rock spit floods from both sides and people are cut off on it every year, so only walk out within two hours either side of low water and turn back as soon as the sea starts covering the ledges. The edge of Carr Naze is unfenced and undercut, and The signed central stretch of Filey beach is closed to dogs from 1 May to 30 September under North Yorkshire Council's dog control public spaces protection order, with a £100 fixed penalty. Between those dates use the sands directly below the Brigg, which are open to dogs all year.
