This circular walk offers superb views of the coast. From Runswick Bay we head inland towards Hinderwell, Oakrigg Wood and Roxby Park. Heading through Roxby Wood we reach the coast at Cowbar from where we follow the Cleveland Way through Staithes and back to Runswick Bay.

Paths are generally good but their are some steep ascents / descents. Sticks recommended
