Hello All,

I am going up to Yorkshire Moors in a couple of weeks time, hiring a camp van and stopping at Whitby first couple of nights to see if I can get on sunrise at Saltwick Bay, then there is Robin Hood’s Bay, The Abbey and a few other places, but is there any other secret places that you might know of, and willing to tell?

Richard

There's a few pretty well known spots, like may beck, staithes, runswick bay, roseberry toping, sutton bank, the wainstones, scugdale crags etc etc.

Thanks Dave will look them up on my os map.

Hello Richard,
You've got a pretty good introduction there. Cleveland is an amazing place with a good mix of wild moorland (go for a long walk pretty well anywhere as it's very self-repeating), pretty villages, (Runswick & Staithes, yes, but also inland as you travel up Eskdale from Leaholme to Castleton, or further west like Yarm or Swainby), high cliffs and empty strand (Skinningrove and Hummersea are unjustly overlooked), fields & pastures (behind Kettleness or around Hutton Rudby/Stokesley/ Great Ayton), urban areas (Middlesbrough & Stockton) and industry (Redcar to Middlesbrough). The people are generally friend if a little unrefined. The heather is out now so I am afraid you'll be missing that treat. Scugdale Crags are south-facing so best in winter if you want direct light at the ends of the day.
I hope that helps. Give me a pm if you want more directions.
Regards,
Charles
