The Hart Inn

Highlight • Pub

Dog friendly pub and restaurant on the sea front of Sandsend

Tip by

354 m

Sandsend Beach

Highlight • Beach

Here you can enjoy the beautiful, large beach away from larger towns. There are a few cafés on the coastal road where you can take a break and strengthen yourself.

Tip by

616 m

Sandsend Ness

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

A superbly varied bit of coastline. On the one hand, a pristine sandy beach, and then a bit further on Rocky Shelves, rocky, almost Moon-like coastline. A must-see!

Tip by

1.68 km

Deep Grove Alum Quarry

Highlight • Natural Monument

The earliest quarry here dates back to 1733. If you like (a lot of!) historic detail, then see historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018139?section=official-list-entry

Tip by

2.05 km

Sandsend Tunnel was opened in 1883 as part of a line between Whitby and Loftus; it closed (the entire line did) in 1958. Now, in a rather precarious state, the tunnel is blocked and entry is prohibited, but it is a pretty and curious place still.

Tip by

2.12 km

Deep Grove Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Follow the trail to the right of the tunnel (northbound) to ascend some quite steep steps over the hill. Some of the steps are quite high in terms of spacing, but there is a wooden fence/handrail to assist. The handrail is wobbly in a couple of places, so slow and steady is the order of the day.

Tip by

4.46 km

Lythe Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lythe Church at the top of Lythe Bank. This Church can be seen for miles around and must make a great navigation mark for various crafts out at sea.

Tip by

4.72 km

Church of St Oswald, Lythe

Highlight • Religious Site

This is one very impressive church with a collection of Anglo-Scandinavian carved stones. The worship at this site is strongly believed to have began more than 1,000 years ago in Viking times.
