A short circular walk to the coast and back - about 1 hour Turn right out of Avoncroft and walk down to the footpath on the right just before the bus stop. Follow the track toward Gnipe Howe Farm. Turn right through the gate at the farm, over the hill and then you drop down the other side onto the Cleveland Way. Turn right, and follow the coastal path along until you reach the signpost to Hawsker. Go right up the hill, through the holiday park, and then right along the track until you reach the cycle way. Turn right and follow the bridleway until you get to the bridge. Climb up the right side to reach the path you started on. Turning left takes you back to Avoncroft.

Robin Hood's Bay A half day walk to Robin Hoods Bay - about 3 hours Start the walk as above, but walk past the sign back to Hawsker and continue on to Robin Hoods Bay. The path comes out at some houses near the top of the village. You can now just explore the enchanting village and beach. You can take the cycle way back to Hawsker - it's shorter and flatter, just what you need after that steep climb out of the village. The views are just as spectacular!.

| Saltwick Bay Beach
Another half day walk to the small secluded beach at Saltwick Bay - about 3 hours round trip Start the walk as above, but turn left when you reach the Cleveland Way. Follow the Coastal path along the cliff tops. You should pass the lighthouse and fog horn station and eventually see Black Nab, a strange dark rock sticking out of the sea. A little further on and you should see Saltwick Bay, flanked with the rocky Saltwick Nab. When you come to the entrance of a caravan park, you should see a path on the right which winds it's way down to the beach. Return home the same way

| Falling Foss Waterfall You can walk from the cottage, but this is an all-dayer. You can drive the 10 minutes to car park and then take a 1 hour circular walk. from the car park, follow the path along the side of the river. You will eventually come to the bridge. On the other side, you will see the 30ft Falling Foss Waterfall. Continue along the path until you come to "The Hermitage" - hand dug out of solid rock. Sit in the two "Wishing chairs" also carved on the roof. Take the path down the hill - this will lead to the top of the waterfall. You can then walk back along the path to the car park. This is a great spot for a picnic! |
