We are the East York Get Your Boots on Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This 11 mile circular walk starts from the picturesque seaside village of Sandsend and takes the path into Mulgrave Woods, where we will find the remains of Mulgrave Castle. We will stop here briefly to explore the ruins before continuing on towards East Barnby. If the weather is kind, I anticipate we'll stop for our lunch break near here, overlooking the valley and woodland. After lunch the route takes us through Lythe Village, walking on field paths and tracks, passes the site of a Roman Signal Station and then the former Kettleness Railway Station. The final 3 miles are on the Cleveland Way, with its stunning coastal views.
Once back in Sandsend we can visit the Wits End Cafe which is next to the car park and treat ourselves to some well deserved tea and cake.
This is an undulating walk on field paths, tracks, minor roads and cliff tops. There are several stiles to cross and the fields are likely to have livestock with their young. Please bear this in mind if you are thinking of bringing your dog to this walk. Please keep your dog on a lead at all times. This walk is also very muddy in places, please wear appropriate clothing and boots.
Sandsend car park. Free parking until 1st March. If anyone is planning on coming via the bus, Sandsend is served by the X4/X4A which travels between Whitby and Middlesbrough.
