Hiking
Sandsend Tunnel was opened in 1883 as part of a line between Whitby and Loftus; it closed (the entire line did) in 1958. Now, in a rather precarious state, the tunnel is blocked and entry is prohibited, but it is a pretty and curious place still.

Hiking
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.
