Slow Ways linking Goathland and Danby, Lockton, Robin Hood’s Bay, Rosedale Abbey, Whitby

Goathland’s five Slow Ways are 40% checked
Help connect Goathland
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Goathland’s Slow Ways.

When walking from Goathland to Robin Hood's Bay the first issue was finding the path across Goathland Moor, eventually we just headed on a general bearing to intercept the road. After leaving Newton Farm, the path to New May Beck was very overgrown in places and the final section to the road was heavily poached by cattle. The path selected on Sneaton Low Moor was not the best as it added more road walking along the very fast and overgrown B1416....

Lovely countryside / views, however very difficult to find the paths in the heather, good carpark in Goathland with toilet, nowhere to stop en-route until you get to Whitby. Not suitable for buggies / wheelchairs, or anyone concerned about deviating from the route. Think we walked an additional 2 miles....
Karen Hunt
Had a few issues, very easy to lose the path just before the plantation and we struggled to find the way in! Also the path alongside Russell's wood was waterlogged and we had to turn back....
Adam Briggs
Accessibility wise - this walk is only suitable for keen walkers (not for bikes, pushchairs or those less able to walk) with lots of mud, several bouts of stepping stones, stairs and dodgy stiles...
Julie Foster
When we went the route crossing the railway line was blocked but a short detour was possible to get to the other side of the railway. Also add that you need to cross the railway line once approaching Ruswarp, you need to do this twice so please ensure you use the crossing point control to be advised if it ok to cross and no train is approaching....
