May 10, 2026, Hayburn Wyke Waterfall and Beach

This was a stunning little waterfall and a very secluded spot, shame the beach is a people beach, but I would definitely recommend a visit

Spectacular little beach, with beck, bridge, waterfall and lots of rock formations. If hiking the Cleveland Way from south to north, take a breather here, as the track north out of the cove is a killer gradient, but thankfully not too long before it levels out on the way to Petard Point.

There are a lot more trails through Hayburn Wyke Wood than are marked on the Ordnance Survey map, many of them well sign-posted. If you follow the main track down to the waterfall from the pub, then you will pass a fantastic natural seat with a view at the northern end of Little Cliff (see photos). A large boulder with a flat top, where you can view the sea through a natural break in the vegetation. Fabulous, but be warned the cliff edge is only feet away from the boulder and masked by the vegetation - keep a tight rein on children and dogs...

Note that the track from Beck Hole to this waterfall is very boggy in places, and part of the track is very high up and narrow, making it slightly difficult to navigate in summer when the gorse bushes are encroaching over the track. Slow and steady with good footwear is essential. There are 2 further waterfalls upstream, Water Ark Foss and Walk Mill Foss, but they can't be accessed from this track from Beck Hole, you would need take either the footpath from Darnholm, or the footpath from Lins Farm just to the northeast of Beck Hole.

Whilst this waterfall is relatively accessible, as others point out it is a bit of a scramble, with the rocks still quite slippery and treacherous in the height of summer, as they are permanently in the shade and damp. In summer, the valley that the track to the waterfall runs through provides welcome respite from the heat of the day.

Many of the photos posted are actually Thomason Foss, which is 50m further upstream. This little waterfall is very broad and shallow, almost like a set of rapids, with lots of huge flat boulders flanking the northern shore that make a perfect perch for an impromptu rest. Note that the track from Beck Hole to this waterfall is very boggy in places, and part of the track is very high up and narrow, making it slightly difficult to navigate in summer when the gorse bushes are encroaching over the track.
