Osgodby Hill and Tenants Cliff above Cayton Bay

Osgodby Point and Cornelian Bay

A 3.8-mile circular of about two hours out to the headland the maps call Osgodby Point and the locals call Knipe Point, north along the cliff to the wooded slope above Cornelian Bay and back inland, with 150 metres of climbing on paths that are steep and greasy in the woods. Start on Osgodby Lane at the edge of the village, where there is free street parking, with the number 12 and 13 buses passing on the A165. Cornelian Bay is a quiet, all-year dog beach reached by a steep wooded scramble, but this whole cliff is slipping, sections of the old Cleveland Way have dropped into the sea and the diversion follows the road, so a lead is needed for much of it.
