Great route despite the heavy rain in previous days. Will plot a route staying more on the high moor tracks.

This charming café and farm offers lovely local cuisine and a variety of seasonal produce for sale. The vegetables featured on the menu are cultivated in the on-site poly tunnel, and everything else is sourced as sustainably as possible. Accessible only by foot, bike, or horse, the whole farm exudes a lovely sense of seclusion. It's the perfect place to stop and fuel up on a long walk.

A lovely place to sit and eat food. Lunch, scones, teas and coffees served, and there are lovely benches provided outside the cafe. Good, green grounds.

The Cleveland Way is a long distance hiking trail stretching from Helmsley and ending in Filey, circling the North York Moors National Park (https://www.komoot.com/collection/888432/hike-empty-hills-majestic-moors-and-golden-coast-cleveland-way). In some sections you can ride along the way too, like here where it's on a bridleway. While this section is fairly wide, take care on busier summer days when there are plenty of walkers, horse riders and other cyclists on the Cleveland Way.
