Very pretty and very quiet woodland. Some steep ups and downs so you need to be steady on your feet. Great for giving the dogs legs a bit of a stretch if you don't want to go too far.

Open at the civilised hour of 10am, where they will serve you a Black Sheep. Or a Landlord. Or a Coffee.

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... 😃
