Walking in Yorkshire - Coast and North York Moors...
One of the best ways to enjoy the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire coast and moors to get out there and get up close and personal with nature...
Find out more about walking in Yorkshire - where to go, our trips and reviews, useful books and maps.....
This part of the Yorkshire coast is truly beautiful - a real triumph of nature, with plenty of different environments to explore and discover...
...from high cliffs, moors, dramatic hills and dales... to windswept beaches and massive skies...
There's something for everyone!
It's great to be able to get out to explore the Yorkshire coast and area, discover the countryside and nature, and enjoy some walks...
We love walking around the Yorkshire coast and moors, but like to stick to quite short, easy walks ...
You might like a longer hike? Or a casual ramble? It doesn't matter, just get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery...
Here are some walks we've enjoyed, plus books, book reviews, essential maps and info about longer distance and other walks in the Yorkshire coast region...
I hope they help you plan your walks - enjoy exploring the countryside and walking in Yorkshire!
There are also lots of organised walks in the area - find out what's coming up in our What's On Guide
We like a nice, short walk - but there are plenty of wonderful and more challenging walks - from day long hikes to 'challenges' and long distance walks to do over a few days or longer!
Here are some you might want to try:
Cleveland Way - National Trail - a large section runs along the coast
Esk Valley Walk - following the river Esk from its North York Moors source to Whitby
Lyke Wake Walk - famous long distance walk that has stopped being promoted to help protect the delicate eco-system of the moors
Newtondale Trail - moors and woodland walk linking to Noeth York Moors Railway stations
Scarborough Rock - route around Scarborough and environs
Scarborough Samaritans - Charity trek in 2 stages - Whitby to Scarborough
For more information, and guides, to these Long Distance Walks, and others, check out the Long Distance Walkers Association and search for the route you want information about.
I hope you enjoy your walks as much as we do... please check your routes on appropriate maps, and take care with the weather and take appropriate safety precautions.
We think the OS Explorer Series (1:25,000 Scale) Maps are the most suitable map if you are planning on doing country walks.These are larger scale than the usual 'tourer' map. This means that the detail appears bigger on the page.
These are a fun way to enjoy a walk and explore the area...
Specially designed walks, cycle-rides or drives, with lots to see and Murder Mystery, Spy and Treasure Hunt themes...
Ideal for keeping kids entertained!
York and Humber Region
Including York and Bridlington.
If you are looking for a fun and exciting way to explore, a Treasure Trail is a fantastic activity to do in the York & Humber region to help you see the sights.
Stunning views? Interesting scenery? Great pub or tea-shop at the end?
