Klappentext

The Cleveland Way is a National Trail set in the beautiful wild countryside of the North York Moors National Park. It runs 109 miles (175km) from Helmsley near Thirsk around the western edge of the park to reach the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea. It then continues along the eastern edge of the park south down the coast through Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough to finish in Filey. Combining moorland and coast, there’s wonderful scenic variety to this walk, with crumbling castles and idyllic fishing villages to explore.
