I started the walk from the church in ugthorp. The route goes through muddy farm fields eventually entering a wood.

The earliest quarry here dates back to 1733. If you like (a lot of!) historic detail, then see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018139?section=official-list-entry

Follow the trail to the right of the tunnel (northbound) to ascend some quite steep steps over the hill. Some of the steps are quite high in terms of spacing, but there is a wooden fence/handrail to assist. The handrail is wobbly in a couple of places, so slow and steady is the order of the day.

Great starting point for hikes north on the Cleveland Way. Large car park. You can even fish from the sea wall at the edge of the car park at high tide.
