From the steep cliffs and fishing coves of Robin Hood’s Bay to the open expanse of the North Yorkshire moors, this one‑day cycling option uses the Cinder Track and local bridleways to stitch coast and upland into a single ride. Riders can choose to follow the former railway line toward Whitby or Ravenscar, or head off the route onto moorland bridleways for wilder terrain and broader views.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Cinder Track to Whitby or Ravenscar

A straightforward corridor along the former railway—the Cinder Track—offers a clear coastal line to either Whitby or Ravenscar, making route choice a defining feature of the day.

THE TERRAIN

Coastline and Moorland Bridleways

The ride pairs coastal track riding with the more open, variable ground of moorland bridleways, giving a mix of shoreline and upland landscapes to explore.

THE PACE

A Full‑Day Exploration

This is an all‑day opportunity—about eight hours on the bike—so it’s built for riders who want a substantial, single‑day outing across the national park’s coastal and moorland environments.

What the day feels like

What the Ride Feels Like

Expect a day that alternates sea‑facing track with more open inland stretches: the Cinder Track provides a linear coastal passage toward Whitby or Ravenscar, while the moorland bridleways open into rougher, more remote ground. It’s a cycling option designed to showcase the contrasts of the North Yorkshire coast and moors in a single outing.
