I copied this route from another user and its not complete as weather turned bad at Filey so 10 miles missing. Also track along cliff is now gone I assume, got stuck in gorse. Most of this trip has to be done on the beach to Filey then up the ramp.

One of the best thing about Hunmanby is the beach at Hunmanby Gap. Drive down Sands Lane and park in the field (the farmer charges a couple of pounds for the whole day). The beach is vast and generally empty. There are no annoying rules so you can take your dog, have a barbecue etc.

Run by the RSPB, Bempton Cliffs is a stunning place to watch puffins, northern gannet and razorbills nest. The hard chalk cliffs offer sheltered headlands and crevices which are perfect for birds to hatch their offspring. From January to September, England's only mainland breeding colony of gannets calls the cliffs home. In total, over half a million birds gather at the cliffs from March to October. Entrance costs £5 per adult. The RSPB runs a visitor center and guided walks. You can find more information, here: https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/bempton-cliffs/
