We are the Pocklington Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We are meeting at the top of Westfield Road (just after Hummersea School) at Loftus at 10am, and the hired coach will take us to the start point of the walk at Slapewath.
This stage of the Cleveland Way is significant in that we leave the Moors to reach the Coast and follow the second half of the trail as it follows the coast towards Filey. From Slapewath we climb through a wood to reach a plateau with great views towards the coast. Then it is downhill to Skelton and onwards to reach the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea. As with all many coastal walks there are many steep ascents and descents as we follow the cliff path towards Loftus, passing Warsett Hill and down to Cattersty Sands and Skinningrove. A steep climb back up the cliffs to reach Hummersea Cliff before turning inland back to Loftus.
The Pocklington Group are walking the Cleveland Way in stages from Helmsley to Filey. A hired coach (charges apply) is being used to take walkers from the meeting point of each walk to the start point of each stage. Pre-booking on the walk is therefore essential and this section is now fully booked
Please contact Martin Hill mph60@btinternet.com if you would like to be placed on the reserve list in case a place becomes available.
The starting point is near Hummersea Primary School on Westfield Way. Go past the School on Westfield Way to reach the end of the road to park in the cul-de-sac.
