The Cinder Track
The old Scarborough to Whitby railway, now a 21-mile traffic-free trail for walking and cycling.
The railway closed in 1965 and its trackbed is now a cycle and walking route from Whitby through Hawsker and Robin Hood's Bay to Ravenscar, Cloughton and Scarborough. Gradients are gentle, surfaces vary from tarmac to rough cinder, and the section around Robin Hood's Bay and Ravenscar has the best coastal views. Bike hire has been offered in Whitby and at Trailways at Hawsker, but check before you travel as Hawsker hire is currently closed.
