CLEVELAND WAY | Trailblazer hiking guide

hiking guide 

All the information you need to enjoy your hiking adventure along the Cleveland Way in this fully revised and updated 2nd edition.

In the beautiful, wild countryside of the North York Moors National Park in northern England lies this fabulous trail, the Cleveland Way. The 110-mile route runs from Helmsley near Thirsk around the western edge of the park to reach the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea. It then continues along the eastern edge of the park south down the coast through Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough to finish in Filey. Combining moorland and coast there's wonderful scenic variety to this walk, with crumbling castles and idyllic fishing villages to explore.
