The Cleveland Way is one of England's oldest and best-loved National Trails. It runs for 108 miles (174 km) around the North York Moors National Park, starting inland at Helmsley, offering panoramic views over the vales of York and Mowbray and from the Cleveland Hills. After reaching the coast at Saltburn, it heads south along the dramatic sea cliffs, with their tales of shipwrecks and smugglers, to end at Filey.
The route features ancient burial mounds, ruined castles, abbeys and Roman remains, with more recent traces of industrial history. Vast areas of heather moorland are host to a wide range of wildlife. The Cleveland Way is easily accessible by public transport and is divided into easy stages by villages of character with friendly pubs and accommodation. Above all, the walker is welcomed with warm Yorkshire hospitality.
This guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy your Cleveland Way walk:
- detailed route descriptions
- background on heritage, geology and scenery
- wildlife information supported by superb photographs
- map of the entire route in 5 drop-down panels (1:120,000)
- information about public transport and travel
- lavishly illustrated, with 90 colour photographs.
The late Gordon Simm was a long-distance walker and a keen photographer. He lived on the edge of the North York Moors and first walked the Cleveland Way in 1989. A lifelong bird-watcher, Gordon's images of landscapes and wildlife have been published in many books (including his guidebook to Hadrian's Wall Path). In 2011 he was recognised by Panasonic as "Photographer of the Year". Sadly, in July 2012 he failed to return from an ambitious solo hike in the mountains of southern Spain. Despite extensive searches, no trace of him has been found.
Jacquetta Megarry devised the rucksack-friendly format of Rucksack Readers guidebooks in 2000 to suit the needs of walkers while on the trail. She has since written or co-authored about 20 such guidebooks, often working in partnership with other authors. She regards her collaborations with Gordon Simm as having produced some of her best work.
