Staithes Village and Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Steep descent into Staithes from the Cleveland Way to the south, but well worth it to see the town's fabulous river estuary and harbour. Gigaro's photo of the geese - they were still there when I passed through :). They don't like hikers, hissing and squawking, or maybe it was just me... 😃

View of Staithes Harbour

Highlight • Beach

Cracking views of Staithes and its characteristic harbour after rounding Old Nab from the south.

Tip by

2.89 km

View of Far Rosedale Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

Terrific views from next to Far Rosedale (a building just north of Port Mulgrave): from here, looking to the south-east, you can make out the cliffs of Kettleness in the far distance.

View of Port Mulgrave

Highlight • Beach

Port Mulgrave is a fascinating place for industrial heritage buffs, and apparently there is a wealth of fossils thereabouts too. In bygone days it was an ironstone mine and port with miners cottages set around a mine shaft that went down several hundred feet. The mine has been closed off now, it is derelict, and there are only a variety of locally constructed fishing huts in the port area.

Steps at Rosedale Wyke

Highlight • Trail

Unbelievably beautiful and dramatic views down the coast at Rosedale Wyke (particularly towards Port Mulgrave to the north). The visuals are helped by a number of steps on the cliffs here; there is even a bench to sit on nearby to enjoy the views. One of the points on the entire Cleveland Way.

6.27 km

Runswick Bay

Highlight • Settlement

Runswick Bay is beautiful: a picturesque coastal village on the Cleveland Way hiking trail, Runswick Sands (a sandy beach), easy coastal walks straight from the village and a number of places to eat and drink once you've satiated yourself with the views.

Port Mulgrave Industrial Heritage

Highlight • Monument

Port Mulgrave was historically known as Rosedale however its name was changed to avoid any confusion that could be caused by the already existing ironstone mines and ironworks at Rosedale in the middle of the North York Moors. Renamed Port Mulgrave after the landowner the Earl of Mulgrave. Lots more interesting info at en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Mulgrave,_North_Yorkshire

Tip by

10.8 km

Old Nab

Highlight • Natural Monument

This very distinctive headland between Jet Wyke and Brackenberry Wyke is a result of a combination of mining and coastal erosion. The views down (and up) the coast are nothing short of spectacular.

May 19, 2022,Staithes to Runswick Bay return

Excellent walk along the coast followed by a pint at the Royal George. Wander round the Harbour finished off with fish, chips and mushy peas at the Cod & Lobster overlooking the water in the sun ☀️😁👍

April 6, 2024,Staithes to Runswick Bay return via Hinderwell avoiding a little of the mud

One of our favourite walks on the North Yorkshire coast and a short section of the Cleveland Way .The views up and down the coast are beautiful.. After endless rain the coastal path was extremely muddy in parts , I have never seen it like this ...
On our return we avoided the worst by walking along the lane into …

April 29, 2024,Runswick Bay to Staithes Round Trip

lovely walk started at Runswick Bay with a coffee and millionaires slice before setting off on the Cleveland Way to Staithes. Fairly easy going, few ups and downs and not too muddy.Both Runswick Bay and Staithes are beautiful coastal villages with an amazingly industrial past. No sign of that now apart from a potash mine at Boulby. Apparently the only …
