Filey to Whitby

A 32 mile stretch along the North Yorkshire coast, mostly cliff top walking. From Filey, the path heads out towards Filey Brigg, and then along the cliffs for several miles to Scarborough, where there are a couple of miles on road round the castle, before re-joining the cliffs. The path climbs steadily all the way to Ravenscar, the highest point on this walk - although this bit is cliff top, in some places it feels a little enclosed between fences on the left and hedgerow on the right. From Ravenscar, it is a long and scenic descent into Robin Hood's Bay, from where the path climbs back up to finish with a spectacular section along open cliff tops, before descending into Whitby passing the Abbey en route.
