Scarborough to Filey coastal walk - Linear (14.2 miles)

Sat, Mar 7 · 10:40 AM GMT

Scarborough Train Station, Westborough, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO11 1TN, Scarborough, GB

This stunning coastal walk takes place along the East Yorkshire coastline and follows a linear route from Scarborough to Filey.

We begin in Scarborough town centre, heading slightly north to pass through Peasholm Park, a peaceful spot with a distinctive oriental feel. From here, we continue to Scarborough North Bay, walking around Marine Drive, where we’ll pause briefly to enjoy the views and keep an eye out for dolphins 🐬.

Next, we pass through Scarborough South Bay, which is usually livelier and bustling with visitors. This marks the start of the more challenging section of the walk, as we climb a steep ascent to join the Cleveland Way.
Once at the top, the effort is rewarded with around 7 miles of mostly flat walking along dramatic clifftops, offering spectacular sea views and passing a variety of coastal features.

As we approach Filey, we’ll have the chance to see Filey Brigg, a unique and fascinating coastal formation. The walk finishes with a short final ascent to Filey train station, where our journey comes to an end.
