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

Great scenery along the beach with amusement arcades, cafes and bars on the other side of the road. It gets extremely busy along here in the summer and on any holiday times, especially if the sun decides to come out too!

A nice ride around the North Bay area of Scarborough. Be warned though, the entire width of the road is cobbled here for the whole length of the bay so good suspension on your bike will make it more pleasant! There is a large pavement but also a lot of pedestrians, especially in the summer so be careful and courteous.

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...
