The start (for those starting at Whitby)
We start in Whitby and then head to the coast, by the Abbey. We will simply follow the Coast Path down to Robin Hood’s Bay.
Robin Hood’s Bay
At Robin Hood’s Bay, we will will spend some time exploring the village and the harbour. There area plenty of gift shops and places to buy a snack. We will then head back to Whitby via the Cinder Track.
The Cinder Track
The Cinder Track is the remains of a railway that once travelled from Scarborough to Whitby. The railway closed in 1965 but the trackbed has been turned into a multi-user route. There are some opportunities for refreshments on the way back.
Back into Whitby
When we get back to Whitby, we can decide what to do for the evening.
