There is a sign on the bench with a quote from Alfred Wainwright, in which he speaks highly of the city of Richmond.
As a Coast to Coast walker you will also see that it is only 76.5 miles (123km) more to Robin Hood's Bay... so you already have 113.5 miles (more than 182km) in your legs.

Whitcliffe Wood

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

In this wood, Robert Willance, a notable of Richmond, on a horseback hunt in 1606, chased by the descending fog, is said to have urged his horse to bring him home quickly, falling 200 feet in the process. His horse did not survive; the horseman miraculously did: he escaped with a broken leg.
