Trail Reviews

Abbas Rashid
August 15, 2025, Whitby & Robin Hoods Bay loop

Outstanding walk, starting from car park near railway station climbing 199 steps up to Whitby Aby then following costal path(7 miles) to Robinhood Bay requires good physical fitness and those with disabilities better use Cinder Track, the track we walked back to starting point, the views throughout this walk are amazing and is genuinely unforgettable particularly in good weather.
