Cleveland Way: North York Moors & Coast | 11 Days

Walking through the untouched landscapes of Northern England.
Helmsley Castle and the remains of the Norman Rievaulx Abbey.
Clifftop walking along the east coast, with sea views.
Crossing open heather moorland skirting the North York Moors.
Whitby Abbey, the Captain Cook Monument and Robin Hoods Bay.

The Cleveland Way explores an untouched area of Northern England where dinosaurs once used to roam. On this trail of varying landscapes, from high cliff tops to peaceful moorland, you will continually skirt the North York Moors National Park. Here pilgrims found peace and settled on these moors creating important abbeys and churches, the remains of which can still be seen today. Wander through historic villages, explore picturesque old shops, and enjoy local hospitality. Revel in the impressive views over the Cleveland Hills and also pass Rock Cliff, the highest point in Eastern England. This journey also hugs the coastline and takes you through such charming seaside towns as Saltburn-on-Sea and Filey. Read Ben Lerwill's celebration of the Cleveland Way featured in The Sunday Times.

When to go Travel & Transfers

Getting to the Start

By Air—The closest airport to the start of the walk is Leeds Bradford International, from here you can catch a train to Malton (55 mins) which is 16 miles from Helmsley, then either a bus or taxi to Helmsley.

By Train—Helmsley doesn't have its own train station and the closest station is 16 miles away at Malton. From the south, trains go via York to Malton, and again you take a taxi or bus to Helmsley. For National Rail timetables, see http://www.thetrainline.com/

By Car—If you plan on driving there is a car park on the north side of town and you can buy weekly parking tickets from the Tourist Information in the market square.

Getting from the End

There are frequent trains from Scarborough to York, from where there are good connections throughout the UK. If you need to head back to Helmsley, then you can catch the train to Malton, and then take a bus/taxi to Helmsley. For the moors and coastal section of the walk, there are frequent trains from the south to Saltburn, and you can catch a bus or a train back to Helmsley from Scarborough.

Baggage Transfer

Your bags will be transferred from your accommodation as per your itinerary and moved onto your next overnight accommodation.

At Macs Adventure, we work in partnership with many luggage transfer providers who set a limit on how many bags/suitcases they will transfer per person, and also the weight of the bag/suitcase. Your booking includes transfer of 1 bag per person. It is very important that you read the luggage information specific to your tour before departure. If you do not adhere to these limits, there is a great possibility that you will be charged locally both for extra bags or if they are too heavy. This limitation can be a challenge, especially as airlines generally have limits that are higher. However, our luggage providers have reasons for these limits (usually due to the Health and Safety of their employees), which we must respect.
