Whitby’s four Slow Ways are 31% checked
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.

Stearsb added Whirob two, a new walk from Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay
Walk this routeIt'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....
Stearsb
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....
