10.30am - 3.30pm

This lovely walk takes us away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby to more calming and beautiful landscapes. We stroll out of the town centre along the River Esk and turn onto the Cinder Track, crossing the impressive Larpool Viaduct. It’s a steady climb along the disused railway line of the Cinder Track for a couple of miles before we turn for the coast where we meet the Cleveland Way and King Charles III National Trails. From here it’s a spectacular return to Whitby along the cliff path, with brilliant sea views and glimpses of shipwrecks. We pass by Whitby Lighthouse and of course the amazing Whitby Abbey.
Free cuppa and cake at the finish. This walk is part of the YHA Festival of Walking.
