Outdoor Leisure Map OL26, - North York Moors (Western Area)
Depending on the tide, this walk is either along the
beach between Saltburn and Marske, or the inland footpath which passes
through Hazel Grove. The return from Marske is whichever route wasn't
used on the way out.
The only matter which needs mentioning is that the footpath through
Hazel Grove is fairly steep and can be slippery in wet weather.
This footpath is prone to damage and may be closed for repairs.
