National Trail
The Cleveland Way is a popular National Trail, running for 109 miles, 175 km. It was the second National Trail to be opened, after the Pennine Way.
The Yorkshire Moors is one of the largest expanses of heather moorland in the country. The first part of the path traverses the inland part of the moors. Then it continues south along the cliff coast, untill reaching the village of Filey, where it connects to the Yorkshire Wolds Way. You will pass the Jurassic Coast, isolated villages, beaches, and the ruins of Whitby Abbey.

- Positive Stunning trail. First half a moorland ridge walk, second a coastal walk. Well maintained, stunning scenery and quite lovely villages, especially the ramshackle fishing villages.
- Negative Steps. Lots and lots and lots of steps. Did I mention steps?

Redcar to Spurn Point
- Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can offer advice on the walk from Redcar to Spurn point and whether it can be done in 3 days?
A friend of ours has become seriously ill with pancreatic cancer during lockdown and his problems have grown due to not being able to start treatment quickly. We are looking at a challenging walk to help raise funds and we wanted to do something that’s challenging. Can anyone advise if it’s been done and best way to break it up?
Regards
Chris
