Best walk from Scarborough

Scarborough Station to Filey Station

stunning, coastal path. A clifftop coastal walk along the Cleveland Way and England Coast Path, well signposted and waymarked. Good paths but very exposed, with several short steep inclines and steps and uneven terrain; some muddy sections in wet weather. Largely follows the Cleveland Way long-distance footpath. Many benches at the Filey end. Cayton Bay offers a rest or snack stop; toilets only at the start and end.

Tough: steep ascents. 16km.

Very exposed to wind and sun with no shelter; bring appropriate clothing and sun protection. The cliffs are subject to frequent collapse, so expect unexpected diversions and take extra care near the edge. The section along the sea defences into Scarborough can become dangerous or impassable at high tides and in stormy seas.

Lunch: There is a pub at Osgodby, roughly midway.
