Explorer Map OL26, - North York Moors (Western Area)

A walk suitable for any time of the year. However, the full benefit of the walk will be obtained on a fine, clear day when you can take full advantage of the views.
Navigation is very straightforward, though you may need to keep an eye on the footpath signs in Brotton.
There are a couple of quite steep ascents and descents, - the ascent from Skinningrove to the cliff top in particular.
