Such a beautiful Trail showcasing the best of what North Yorkshire has to offer! The variety on the Cleveland Way is astounding, making for never a dull day. From the Moors to the gorgeous coastline it truly provides. I hiked the trail over 4 and a half days from Helmsley to Filey. Would highly recommend!!

A nice trail, Some lovely views through forests and Farmlands ending at the coast. You can stop the trail at Holme next to sea which Is around 49 miles or carry onto the coastal path. There wasn鈥檛 many if any water taps on route so I recommend bringing a filter.
