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 friend and I completed this trail in four and a half days. A great trail for anyone who is starting to get into multi-day walking. Each section is very different from the next, all very enjoyable with changing landscapes and beautiful countryside. Some areas are not well signposted or waymarked. You'll need to keep your eye on the map. All the major villages and towns on the route have places to eat and drink and offer accommodation from camping to B&Bs. There's plenty to see and do along the way. Give yourself plenty of additional time for exploring. Visit Mill Gill waterfall. It is only a short detour from the main path and well worth it. We took the high route over the moors and wild camped at Blakethwaite Smelt Mill, a great wild camping spot. We stayed at the following places: Askrigg - The Crown Inn campsite is £10 a night, very basic. No showers. Just a toilet and drinking water tap. It does have very nice views over the Dales. Usha Gap Campsite and Farm - a ten-minute walk from Thwaite, just off the trail. £10 a night. Easy to find and get to. £10 lots of facilities, toilets, showers, phone charging points, dry room, showers, washing machine, the shop opens at 8 am. Wild Camp at Blakethwaite Smelt Mill at the top of Gunnerside Gill ravine. It's on the trail; you can't miss it if you take the high route. Grinton YHA (about a mile from Reeth and on route). Lots of options, from camping, outdoor pods, private rooms or dorms. Self-catering facilities and has a restaurant. Sells alcohol and local ales. Dry room, lounge, washing machine etc.

Beautiful walk, be sure to add the scramble down to view the Scar from above, this is a short detour on the route.. Be careful though as it is slippery in the wet. Lovely pubs and a cafe waiting for you in Malham.
