• Head off the beaten track. Take the road less travelled. Discover hidden views and new perspectives. Ravenscar sits between Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough. The Cinder Track and The Cleveland Way both pass through and the views back towards Bay are stunning. This photo was taken near the @nationaltrust shop, overlooming both the Cinder Track (to the left) and The Cleveland Way as it drops down to the cliff top on the left. You can also make out the area of the disused alum mine, and pick out Boggle Hole as you look back along the beach. Next time you visit #Whitby make time to explore somewhere you've not been before. You won't regret it! #ravenscar #yorkshire #yorkshirecoast #cindertrack #clevelandway #walking #northsea #robinhoodsbay

  • Larpool Viaduct on the Whitby to Scarborough cinder track is a fantastic place to enjoy uninterrupted views across to Whitby Abbey and up the Esk Valley, over the rooftops of Ruswarp. It was opened in 1885, is 279m long and 37m tall. Unfortunately, the railway line closed in 1965 following the Beaching Report. However, the cinder track is persistently popular with walkers, runners and cyclists. If you venture along the line, it's quite easy to make a circular walk back into town from Larpool Lane, Stainsacre, Hawsker or for the keenest walkers, why not go all out... Head to Robin Hood's Bay (5 miles) and then walk back along the Cleveland Way coastal path. Or get the bus! #railway #cindertrack #whitby #rooftops #trees #walking #riveresk #eskvalley #yorkshire #viaduct #beeching #cycling #running

  • Red and yellow and green and blue. Not quite a full rainbow, but still a cheerful sight in the summer sunshine. Have you hired a beach hut in the past? What are you 'must have' items which make it uniquely yours? Some are traditionalists - just a deck chair and a wind break. Some people take it up a notch brining a gas stove and a kettle so they can enjoy a nice cup of @yorkshiretea by the sea. Others go the whole hog - furniture, stove, crockery, cutlery, solar-powered lighting and don't forget the corkscrew! Whatever creature comforts you require, enjoy! #beachhut #whitby #yorkshire #coastal #beach #yellow #blue #green #red #grass

  • Fancy a swim? There have been quite a few people out enjoying the water this week - paddle boarders, long distance swimmers out in deep water, children with body boards in the surf. It's great to see. If you are tempted to take a dip remember that although the air temperature is warm, the sea is cold! Go prepared with a towel and some dry clothes to change into afterwards. And be aware that the RNLI aren't providing quite so many lifeguards as usual, so stay safe! #sea #swimming #whitby #coast #coastal #splash #northsea #openwater

  • The Government's announcements today will mean that many Whitby businesses are able to open their doors to the public once again. However, the virus has not gone away. If you're travelling to #Whitby (or anywhere else, for that matter) please remember to abide by social distancing regulations - and head for open spaces where possible. Here in Whitby we have a huge beach - the perfect place to spread out and stay safe.

But please, stay safe. #Whitby #yorkshire #beach #sandsend #coast #pebbles #sky #holiday #covid19

  • Where's your favourite place for a walk around Whitby? You could head for the Cleveland Way and enjoy a wind-swept ramble along the coast. Or, join the Cinder Track and wander along it in the shade of the trees. Head inland, pick up a footpath and navigate the Esk Valley enjoying the pretty villages. Wherever you go you'll find beautiful scenery, friendly people and excellent options for on the go reshments. So next time you visit Whitby, why not head off the beaten track? Explore the coast and countryside - find your secret spot. There's always something new to discover. #whitby #eskvalley #northyorkmoors #northyorkmoorsnationalpark #wildflowers #buttercups

  • Over the next few weeks we are going to be adding lots of our favourite walks in and around Whitby. Whilst it will be good to welcome visitors back to #Yorkshire, we need to find ways of keeping our distance so we can all remain safe. A great way to do that is to head off the beaten track. And where betternto do that than the Yorkshire Coast and Esk Valley? Have you got a favourite place to escape to? A circular walk or secret spot? Share with us in the comments and it may well grt a mention in the weeks ahead. #walking #countryside #northyorkmoors

  • As things start to open up again please respect social distancing. Many businesses have been working hard to prepare for reopening - look out for signs and instructions and do as they say. They're designed to keep you and others safe. Avoid peak times where possible. Head straight for the shops you need, avoid blocking pavements or access and don't handle goods if you don't intend to buy - you're just making more work for shop staff. And remember, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy Yorkshire without forming a crowd - get out in the great ourdoors and make the most of @northyorkmoors - there's plenty to enjoy there that money can't buy! Stay safe 👍
