A long stage with two long ascents, and many walkers will split it into two, either by continuing past Glaisdale to Egton Bridge or Grosmont the day before, or by stopping off at Littlebeck or High Hawsker and finishing with a short day into Robin Hood's Bay. There is a shop and a café at Grosmont, and pubs at Grosmont and at High Hawsker. In the unlikely event that you might want to cut out walking altogether today there is a train service from Glaisdale, Egton Bridge and Grosmont to Whitby, from where there is a bus service to Robin Hood's Bay. The scenery is more varied than on any other stage of the crossing - the deep, wooded valleys of the Esk and the Little Beck, heather moorlands on either side of the Little Beck Valley, and to finish off the three miles of magnificent cliff-top footpath overlooking the North Sea as you complete your challenge in Robin Hood’s Bay.
