Today is quite an easy walk along the coast to Staithes (pronounced ‘Stairs’ locally), although there are a couple of stiff climbs up to Hunt Cliff and Micklow Hill at around 1,000 feet. Your second cliff at Boulby is the highest on the east coast of England. In between the hills you drop down once again to sea level, losing all the height you have gained but at least there is the chance of an ice cream stop. Walkers should be aware of the cliff edges where the path largely runs - it may be undercut in places and is prone to erosion. Also, be careful of the cliff edges in strong winds. There is a lot of accommodation en-route today, and some folk might prefer to walk on to Ravenscar to stay the night. However, we do recommend that you spend a substantial amount of time (if not overnight) in the beautiful and largely untouched fishing village of Staithes, and discover the old coastal Yorkshire with its fleet of fishing cobles (flat-hulled, sharp-prowed fishing boats, said to have come from Viking design) in the harbour.
