Level: Advancing, Intermediate
Age range: Over 8
Terrain: Ranges from well kept Cleveland Way to muddy paths, shale scree, steep steps, slippery rock platform and cobbled beach
The 3-4 hour tour starting from the top of the boat ramp and heads NW towards Goldsborough along the Cleveland Way. It combines clifftop locations from the old alum quarries and rock platform and beach deposits at the water’s edge. You must be prepared for offroad walking in potentially wet conditions, good walking boots and waterproofs are a must. Bring water, snacks or a meal as there are no facilities once the tour has begun. Once at beach level our tour guide will help you find some interesting fossils and explain how to hunt for the local specialities, golden pyrite fossils and Whitby Jet.
The tour starts at the advertised start time so please come about 15 minutes before.
A fascinating 3-4 hour tour that is bound to please but due to the terrain this is for intermediate to advanced levels only. We therefore have an no under 8 year olds policy on this trip.
