Walking
The Hayburn Wyke Inn
is an ideal starting point for your walk. The Cleveland Way long distance walk
passes us forming the cliff top path and the old Scarborough/Whitby railway is
now a safe and gentle path suitable for young, elderly or less able walkers (as
well as being a perfect return route if you have over exerted yourself). The two
walks can be combined to make pretty circular routes.
Walk 1
North to Ravenscar - Full day
circular walk. 8 miles
From the Hayburn Wyke
take the path down towards the beach, passing through woodland maintained by the
National trust as a nature reserve. Be sure to admire the waterfall and secluded
beach before taking the Cleveland Way North to Ravenscar, where there are
toilets, a cafe and a hotel. On the journey you have superb coastal views
as well as views of the "undercliff" which because of its inaccessibility
is a home to deer, foxes and badgers. At Station Square, Ravenscar you can
follow the disused railway back to the Hayburn Wyke

From the Hayburn Wyke
take the path down towards the beach, passing through the woods. At the cliff
top turn right, following the Cleveland Way South to Scalby Mills where
you are greeted by the pyramid shaped buildings of the Sealife Centre. On the
way you have breathtaking coastal views of Scarborough Castle, Filey Brigg and
the sheer chalk cliffs of Flamborough and Bempton. At Scalby Mills turn inland
before crossing Scalby beck on the signed footpath which brings you out on the
Coastal Road. walk North on this road past the Scalby Manor Hotel and Caravan
Park then turn down Station Road. Walk down Station Road towards the village of
Scalby turning off at the railway bridge onto the disused railway line which you
follow North back to the Hayburn Wyke.
