Staithes & Port Mulgrave

A walk through fields, lanes and along the cliffs. Starting at the old fishing village of Staithes, you will follow the Cleveland Way National Trail for part of the walk, along to Port Mulgrave and the coastal views this brings.

How to get there

Staithes is located off the A174 main road, between Whitby and Loftus.

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.
