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.

Directions to the start →

The northern escape from Hornsea’s summer dog ban. The council order covers only the sand between the concrete ramp at Headland View and the steps south of Sands Lane, so if you drop down at the Headland View ramp and turn north you are outside it from the first stride, all year, with no lead requirement. You pass the last of the sea defences, then the boulder clay cliff takes over and rises steadily, with the caravan parks of Longbeach and Atwick set well back on top and field boundaries ending in mid-air where the land has gone. Two miles on, the clay ramp at the end of Cliff Lane brings you up into Atwick. It needs a falling tide because at high water the sea meets the clay in places, and you should keep well out from the cliff foot, which slumps without warning after rain.
