A full ten-mile day of around five hours linking the Centenary Way out to Filey, the coast at Filey Bay and the Yorkshire Wolds Way back over Folkton Wold and down Stocking Dale, with 230 metres of climbing on chalk and clay that turns slick in the wet. Start at Hunmanby railway station, which is on the Scarborough to Hull line and makes the whole thing car free. The dale bottoms and the chalk tracks are good long off-lead miles, but sheep are on the wold and there is arable headland walking where a dog must stay on the path, the Muston crossing uses a stretch of the A1039, and the Filey beach section carries a summer dog ban.
A beloved cafe right at Hunmanby Gap, about four miles south of Filey along the sands, whose sign famously welcomes 'dogs with well behaved owners'. The classic finish to a long dog gallop down Filey Bay's quieter end.
A long, quiet stretch of shoreline running from the Speeton cliffs up to Filey, reached by a steep path from a private cash-only clifftop car park. Dogs are welcome all year, and its distance from the crowds makes it a favourite escape when Filey's central beach ban is in force.
A short 3.1-mile circular of about an hour and twenty minutes, down the gap onto Hunmanby Sands, north along the beach towards Filey and back up onto the clifftop path, with the 70 metres of climbing all in one pull. Park at Hunmanby Gap at the end of Sands Lane, where there is a small pay-and-display and a beach cafe; it is two miles down from Hunmanby village, which has the nearest station. This end of Filey Bay carries no seasonal dog ban at all, so it is the reliable summer choice on this coast, with miles of firm sand to run on, but check the tide because the beach narrows towards Reighton and the clifftop path runs close to a soft, slumping edge.
