Forget your average takeaway—this six-mile coastal walk in Yorkshire offers not just breathtaking views but also some of the best fish and chips in Britain at the finish line.
The Ultimate Foodie Hike
Starting in the charming village of Robin Hood’s Bay, this picturesque route winds along the stunning North Yorkshire coastline before ending in Whitby—home to the legendary Quayside chippy, a multiple award-winner in the National Fish & Chip Awards.
Why This Walk Stands Out
- Scenic beauty: Cliff-top paths with panoramic sea views
- Historic charm: Pass through quaint fishing villages
- Rewarding finish: Fresh, sustainably sourced fish cooked to perfection
Planning Your Trip
The moderately challenging walk takes about 2-3 hours at a leisurely pace. Experts recommend:
- Checking tide times before setting out
- Wearing sturdy footwear for the cliff paths
- Timing your arrival in Whitby for early evening when the fish is freshest
With Whitby’s fish and chip shops often named among Britain’s best, this unique combination of exercise and excellent cuisine makes for an unforgettable day out.
