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.
An inland 4.5-mile circular of about two and a half hours behind the village, dropping into the wooded cleft of Ramsdale and climbing back out, 175 metres of ascent on paths that are wet underfoot for much of the year. Start on Thorpe Lane at the top of the Bay, where there is limited free roadside parking, or use the Bank Top car park and add a quarter of a mile. Ramsdale Beck runs clean and shallow and the woods are sheltered on a windy day, but there are half a dozen stiles including two tall stone ones, and sheep are on the fields between Fylingthorpe and the beck almost all year.
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.
