About
The Cinder Track follows the old Scarborough and Whitby Railway for about 21.7 miles, passing Cloughton, Ravenscar and Robin Hood's Bay on its way to Whitby. It is open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and you can do a short stretch or the whole way. The surface is mostly unsealed and can be muddy in places after rain.
