Goathland Station

Highlight • Rest Area

From the station you can access three public footpaths that cross Goathland or Mill Moors, much of the terrain is grassy and easy-going. Great track runs southeast from behind the station, which after crossing Cow Wath Bank road, takes you to the picturesque Brock Beck stepping stones.

Whitby Harbour

Highlight • Historical Site

Whitby is a traditional seaside town that is dearly loved by young and old alike. With a glorious golden beach, quirky cobbled streets that wind enticingly through old taverns and pubs — frequented by sailors and smugglers in times gone by — and a bustling harbour overlooked by the striking Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey, it is an intriguing and beautiful place. With connections to Captain Cook and Dracula, too, Whitby truly is a place unlike any other.

Whitby North Promenade and Beach Huts

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a great road to take either into or out of Whitby. From high up you can appreciate the vastness of the North Sea and people watch those promenading along the seafront.

To the east you can see to Whitby and to the north-west across to the cliffs of Sandsend Ness.

Sandsend Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sandsend Road, leading out from Whitby and north towards Teeside is a lovely coastal road with views across the sea to the east and of Sandsend itself here as it begins to drop down to the coast.

Egton Plantation

Egton Village Green and John Foster Monument

Highlight • Settlement

This is one lovely village to make a stop at. The views from the High Street (particularly towards the south) are fantastic. There is a wonderful green, with a few seats and an interesting monument in memory of John Foster (although at first sight it looks like a war monument). There are pubs and inns, too, to have some food if you'd like.

The village is quieter than Egton Bridge (not that the Bridge one is Oxford Street precisely!) and makes a perfect place to stop for a bit and re-energise.
