Cleveland Way
The Cleveland Way is an 112 mile official long-distance footpath from Helsley to Filey, and is a walk of two halves: The first 59 miles are inland and much of it across rugged but beautiful moorland; the second half is a beautiful, scenic route down the Yorkshire coast. It is a first-class walk.
Cleveland Way Accommodation
Most of the Cleveland Way accommodation we list is either on or very close to the path. When further than ¼ mile we usually give distance.
We have split Cleveland Way accommodation into Hotels & Inns and Bed & Breakfast. Guest House accommodation is included with Bed & Breakfast. While we realise many guest houses are as good as some hotels, in order to avoid confusion we have opted for the simpler option.
We are always looking to improve our Cleveland Way accommodation listing, and always welcome updates and additions.
Restaurants and Pubs
We have attempted to give as much information as possible, but restaurants and pubs are notoriously changeable. Wherever known, we have included information on pubs serving real ale and/or food. Please let us know if our information is out of date.
Cleveland Way Guidebooks & Maps
Guidebooks
We recommend buying two different Cleveland Way guidebooks. One will supplement the other in terms of clarity, additional information, etc. The cost of the additional guidebook is very little compared to the cost of the walk.

Includes relevant OS 1:25 000 scale map extracts. Excellent value.

Maps for the Cleveland Way
Do not feel tempted to save money buying the 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey maps; they do not have anywhere near the same detail as the 1:25,000 scale maps, and do not show field boundaries.
The following Ordnance Survey `Explorer’ maps and Outdoor Leisure (OL) maps at 1:25,000 scale cover the route:
| OL26 | North York Moors Western Area |
| OL27 | North York Moors Eastern Area |
| 301 | Scarborough, Bridlington & Flamborough Head |
