Inhaltsangabe

The Cleveland Way is one of England's oldest and best-loved National Trails. It runs for 108 miles (174 km) around the North York Moors National Park, starting inland at Helmsley, offering panoramic views over the vales of York and Mowbray and from the Cleveland Hills. After reaching the coast at Saltburn, it heads south along the dramatic sea cliffs, with their tales of shipwrecks and smugglers, to end at Filey.

The route features prehistoric burial mounds, ancient castles, abbeys and Roman remains, with more recent traces of industrial history. Vast areas of heather moorland are host to intriguing wildlife. The Cleveland Way is easily accessible by public transport and is divided into easy stages by villages of character with friendly pubs and accommodation. Above all, the walker is welcomed with warm Yorkshire hospitality.

The third edition of this guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy your Cleveland Way walk: updated route descriptions, background on geology, pre-history and history, illustrated information about wildlife, mapping of the entire route on 20 pages at 1:40,000, information about public transport and travel. The book is lavishly illustrated, with 100 colour photos and is printed on rain-resistant paper.
