An interesting day's walk, as you head down to the coast at Saltburn and the walk begins to take on a different character to the woody scarps and open moors that you have been used to up to now. First the route climbs up Easby Moor to visit Captain Cook's memorial (he was born nearby), with the opportunity to detour by about a mile to climb the eroded sand stone stump of Roseberry Topping, then skirts around the town of Guisborough and through the farming settlements of Slapewath and Skelton, before meandering down with the Skelton Beck to the sandy seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and the prospects of a good ice cream and fish and chips. It is a pretty place, thoroughly re-organised by the Victorians, but you can still sense the old days of smuggling and crime rackets. If you are only doing half the walk, there are rail connections from here to Middlesbrough.
