Help connect Whitby

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 Whitby’s Slow Ways.

Whitby—Robin Hood’s Bay

Stearsb added Whirob two, a new walk from Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay

Walk this route

It's an old railway track so it doesn't have any really steep parts but it isn't flat. It's popular with walkers, dog walker and cyclists but its a wide track and i had no problems....

Walk this route

A great and scenic walk between the two resorts, excellent paths and only a few challenging rocky steps, not sure how it would fare in poor weather and strongly suggest not trying this in windy conditions....
