Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill.
A 7.2-mile circular of about three and a quarter hours, south on the Cleveland Way over three steep-stepped ravines to Boggle Hole and Stoupe Beck, then back on the level Cinder Track, with 160 metres of climbing taken almost entirely on steps. Start at the Bank Top pay-and-display car park above the village, since there is nowhere to park at the bottom and the descent into the Bay is punishing on the way back. The Cinder Track return is easy off-lead ground with becks to drink from, but the outward cliff path is unfenced and crosses grazed fields, and the beach route to Boggle Hole is cut off by every tide.
A cosy village bistro that welcomes one well-behaved dog per party, though space is tight so large dogs cannot be accommodated. Booking ahead is recommended, particularly in season.
A clifftop Victorian hotel at the top of the village with dedicated dog-friendly rooms in The Captain's Quarters, at £10 per dog per night. Dog bowls, a blanket and treats are laid out for your dog before you arrive, and the beach is a ten-minute amble down through the village.
A quiet family-run park at Fylingthorpe, a stroll across the fields from Robin Hood's Bay itself. Dogs are welcome on the condition they stay on a short lead and are never left unattended.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
