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. 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 →

A 6.5-mile circular of just under three hours with 190 metres of ups and downs, heading north from Robin Hood's Bay on the Cleveland Way past Ness Point to Maw Wyke Hole, then turning inland to Hawsker and returning down the level Cinder Track. Park at the top car park above the village on Station Road, because the bank down to the dock is one in three and there is almost nowhere to leave a car at the bottom. The Cinder Track is a wide, well-drained old railway that suits a dog off the lead, but the outward cliff path is unfenced and undercut around Ness Point and the fields between the coast and Hawsker are grazed.
