Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a casual walker, we provide the perfect starting point for your walking adventures.

Discover the Trails

• The Cleveland Way: This national trail offers 175 kilometres of walking through varied landscapes, starting from Helmsley, traversing the North York Moors, and following the dramatic North Sea coast down to Filey. Just steps from our hotel, you can join this path and explore stunning cliff-top views, rolling moorland, and ancient ruins.

It’s a favourite for both walkers and cyclists, providing scenic views of the coastline and countryside. The route is easily accessible from our doorstep and is perfect for a day’s walk or bike ride.
