Lovely walk along the coast path then back along the disused railway. If anything the views from the Cinder Path were better than the coast path because of being higher up. Definitely worth a stop in the campsite cafe after the steep climb - good cakes! Also should walk down into Robin Hood's Bay after the walk - very picturesque old fishing village with lots of narrow streets and alleyways.

Excellent directions. Good views from clifftop. Steep walk through caravan park so cafe was a welcome place to recover! Nice walk back along Cinder Path.
