Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, 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 →

An easy two-mile round on the council's Healthy Walks list, out of the Sewerby Hall car park on Church Lane, past the Ship Inn and down the footpath to the clifftop, then east above Sewerby Rocks and Ragstone Hole with Bridlington Bay open on your right. At the trees near Danes' Dyke Farm the route turns inland along the field edge and comes back through Sewerby past the Anglo-Saxon burial ground. The cliff here is unfenced grass, low but sheer, and the path runs close to the edge for most of the seaward leg. No dog order covers any of it, and the beach below at Sewerby steps is well north of the Bridlington North Beach exclusion zone, so a dog is free all year. There is a section of road walking and one busy crossing on Church Lane.

THE SMALL PRINTNo dog order on the route. The Bridlington North Beach exclusion, 1 May to 30 September, ends at the northern end of North Marine Promenade, more than a mile south-west of Sewerby, so the sand below these cliffs is open all year. Sewerby Hall's own grounds, which the walk starts from, do require dogs on leads.

Stay DOGS WELCOME

Bridlington Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

YO15 1DU
No reviews yet

The Club's touring site on Flamborough Road at Marton, between Sewerby and Flamborough, set back from the cliffs with Danes Dyke woods and the clifftop path within easy reach. The Club's own site page lists a dog walk on site, a dog walk from the site and a dog washing area, and names dogs among the things the site is ideal for, which is about as explicit as the Club gets. Sewerby Hall is two miles south, Bempton Cliffs four miles north, and the sand below Sewerby is well clear of the Bridlington North Beach summer exclusion. There is no hire accommodation here, so the dog comes in your own van or tent. The Club does not publish a dog charge for this site.

Restaurant SOME LIMITS

Clock Tower Cafe, Sewerby Hall

YO15 1EA
No reviews yet

The main cafe in the old stable block at Sewerby Hall, off the courtyard beside the gift shop and a minute from the clifftop gate. Sewerby own frequently asked questions say that only assistance dogs are allowed in the zoo, the house, the adventure playground, the Stables Gift Shop, the Orangery and the Clock Tower Cafe, but then add that there is a section in the cafe where all dogs are permitted, so ask for that side when you go in. Everywhere else in the fifty acres of grounds a dog is fine on a lead, and you must clean up after it. The Orangery, the smarter restaurant in the walled garden, is assistance dogs only with no dog section. The car park is free to visitors and there is a discount on admission if you show a valid parking ticket.
