There is much history to be seen along the ClevelandWayNational Trail, ranging from remnants of a proud industrial and mining past up on the moors to nefarious smuggling activities along the coast.
The ClevelandWayNational Trail is officially split into 6 sections, though with the amount of things to see and do along the way, it's worth thinking about splitting some of the sections over a couple of days in order to take it all in properly.
Walking on the ClevelandWayNational Trail is fairly easy but there are various ascents and descents to make, plus the exposed nature of much of the route could leave you exposed to difficult or inhospitable weather in less clement months.
Along the way you cover many different types of terrain, follow many different types of footpath, glory in varied and beautful array of scenery and for those with a historic bent explore nearly every facet of the historical development of North Yorkshire.
The ClevelandWay is very well signposted for most of its length but I recommend that you take with you the various OS maps that cover the area as conditions on the moors can change very quickly and route finding can become difficult.
The ClevelandWay leaves Saltburn by a path that climbs steeply behind the Ship Inn and keeps to the left of the old coastguard cottages to bring you out on the cliff top.
