Overview

A leisurely 6 mile circular walk with only one short gentle climb.

The route follows the east bank of the River Esk, passing the oldest house, and over the high level bridge with extensive views of Whitby.  The cinder track is followed over the Larpool viaduct as far as Broomfield Farm.  The footpath north and east is then followed, across Stainsacre Lane and through Little John Field (alongside Robin Hood Field) to Manor House Farm.  The last stretch is along the quiet Hawsker Lane to Saltwick Bay and then along the Cleveland Way passing Saltwick Nab to Whitby Abbey.
