Walk
1 From the car park, turn right to head down the hill. You will pass by a pub (Cod & Lobster) where you should take a right turn to head up the road.
2 At the top of the road, continue ahead (signposted to Cleveland Way, Port Mulgrave) and through the alley. Take a left at the next signpost for Cleveland Way. Follow this cliff-top path.
3 You will reach a gate which you should progress through, and continue on into the village and head along the road.
4 Take a right to head along a stone track when you reach the post box. Take a left after the final building to cross the fields. The path will then head downhill to the A174 road.
5 Carefully cross over the main road and into the lay-by, heading right into it, and then left at the public footpath sign, heading into the woods. The path continues downhill, where you will cross over a bridge and then head left following the path up the hill.
6 You will find the path taking a sharp right turn to leave the wooded area. Continue on the path, taking a right over the bridge and head toward Dalehouse (signposted).
7 Once you reach the road, turn right to head uphill (named Dalehouse Bank), meeting the A174 again. Take a right here, then a left onto Staithes Lane, returning to the car park.
