lovely quaint little village. stopped for a bacon & egg sarnie which was really nice from the Cobblers just across the bridge.

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.

Far reaching views, another peaceful stretch of the Cleveland Way.

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... 😃

Cracking views of Staithes and its characteristic harbour after rounding Old Nab from the south.

If you are following the Cleveland Way it would be too easy to take the shortcut from the top of the hill, heading towards Staithes as the crow flies. Following the track down the headland to the Nab does not add that much distance, and gives better views.
