Walking in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast

With 1,400 miles of country paths and tracks this is walking country - gentle strolls, day walks and long-distance hikes are all on our doorstep. There are dozens of short walks encompassing everything from town trails to wildlife spotting, which you can pick up at any Tourist Information Centre.

If you enjoy long distance walking you will be spoilt for choice. The Cleveland Way National Trail, The Yorkshire Wolds Way, Esk Valley Walk, the Ebor Way, The Inn Way and the Tabular Hills Walk are just some of our more popular trails. The Ebor Way, approximately 70 miles in length, starts at Helmsley and finishes at Ilkley in West Yorkshire. It links the Cleveland Way and Dales Way, making possible a long distance route of about 310 miles!  The Centernary Way was created in 1989 by North Yorkshire County Council and it covers 82 miles betwene York Minster and Filey on the ast coast, linking sections of the Foss, Ebor, Derwent and Wolds Ways.

Comprehensive guidebooks are available for all these long distance walks, which you can purchase via the web or at a local Tourist Information Centre.
