This is lovely walk and upto the old lighthouse the pathway is fine for families with children but beyond that the pathways do become uneven and undulating.
One of the favourite routes visitors to the area enjoy is the Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay walk. This cliff top route follows a very popular section of the Cleveland Way. It covers 7 miles and should take around 3 hours to complete

A few steps to the top but worth it for the views. There is a gentle slope to the side if you have push/wheelchairs.
The bones were acquired in 1963 by Whitby Rural District Council as a gift from a Norwegian shipping company to mark the town's whaling past. The bones came from a 113-ton fin whale which was killed in the Weddell Sea in the Antarctic by the Norwegian whaling ship Thorshovd
