The Cinder Track runs between Scarborough and Whitby, for 34.6 km (21.5 miles), just inland from the coastline, along the old railway line, which can get rocky at times.
Start from Scarborough, known for its striking ruined castle and beautiful beaches, passing through the rugged, heathen-strewn landscapes of the North York Moors National Park, and awe-inspiring views of the Yorkshire coast as you go. There are plenty of places to pause along the way, including the secluded bay near Hayburn Wyke or tiny Robin Hood’s Bay, a picturesque fishing village surrounded by cliffs and over the 36.5m (120 ft) high Larpool Viaduct, with views over the wooded banks of the River Esk before finishing along the cobbled lanes of Whitby.
