I resumed my journey north of Filey Brigg.

Cliff erosion threatens the path.

Leading to some tricky spots to be negotiated.

Tidal rocks at Red Cliff Point.

World War II pillbox about to take a tumble.

Pillbox down!

View from beach level at Cayton Bay.

The broad beach at Cayton Bay.

Cleveland Way above Cayton Bay

The Cleveland Way climbs steeply through woodland up to the cliff top.

It's hard to credit that the suburbs of Scarborough are less than half a mile inland from this wild and deserted stretch of coast.

A long row of memorial benches commemorate the many holidaymakers who have enjoyed their visits to Scarborough.

South Sands, Scarborough.

Mouth of Scalby Beck.

There are several steep and tricky flights of steps over this section.

Scalby Ness Sands.

Crook Ness.

Ploughed field beside the Cleveland Way.

Long Nab Bird Observatory, originally a Coastguard Lookout.

Cloughton Wyke.

A very fine bull, beside - but fortunately separated by a fence from - the Cleveland Way!

Hayburn Wyke

Well, we had been warned, but three of us ignored the diversion notice and continued along the coastal path. But then we came to this avalanche of mud where the steps had completely collapsed - not easy!

Beast Cliff. At the foot of this extremely steep and well-wooded cliff is a tiny sliver of beach with the distinctive grid reference OA00. The remainder of the OA one-hundred kilometre square is all at sea!

Former Coastguard Lookout.

Cleveland Way at Ravenscar.

Planned as a new seaside resort at the end of the 19th century to compete with Scarborough, it was conspicuously unsuccessful because it stood over 600 feet above sea level!

See what I mean! The cliff below Ravenscar.

Peak Alum Works below Ravenscar.

At low tide you can enjoy a good walk over the sands and across the wave-cut platform between Ravenscar and Robin Hoods Bay.

School field-study group on the wave-cut platform.

Boggle Hole, a break in the cliff.

Robin Hoods Bay.

The steep main street of Robin Hoods Bay.

Millennium sculpture at Robin Hoods Bay.

Lock Case Nab.

Limekiln Slack.

Here the Coast to Coast path leaves the Cleveland Way and heads uphill inland.

Gnipe Howe.

A dip in the path.

Whitby High Light. Since the light was automated, the light keepers cottages on either side have been converted to holiday lets.

Fog horns are largely obsolescent and this one has now been decommissioned - fortunately for the occupants of the cottage underneath!

The striking outcrop of Black Nab.

Saltwick Bay Holiday Park. Just one of a number of caravan parks along the coast.

What visitors staying at the Saltwick Bay Holiday Park don't see! The park's own sewage works.

The iconic ruins of Whitby Abbey.

The Abbey Steps leading down to the Harbour.

The Estuary of the Esk looking downstream. The Abbey ruins can be seen on the skyline.

Whitby's own "pirate ship" in the Harbour. The "Mary Ann Hepworth" came into service as Whitby's lifeboat in 1938. After being "retired" as a lifeboat, she was fitted out in 1988 with a "pirate" theme for pleasure cruises. This photo was taken in 2018. Her role as Whitby's "Pirate Ship" was taken over by the "Black Pearl" in 2020.
