From the clifftops and coves of Robin Hood's Bay to the wide, wind-swept moors, this outing pairs coastal views with upland riding. The route uses the historic Cinder Track as a spine—riding either to Whitby or on to Ravenscar—or, for those keen to diverge, threading bridleways across open moorland for a wilder day on the TREK Marlin e‑bike.
