North Yorkshire Coast and Moor 50 Miles

The North Yorkshire Coast and Moor 50 Miles is on Saturday 12 June 2027, starting and finishing at Grouse Hill (YO22 4QH) in North Yorkshire. It's a 50-mile walking event that takes you across two very different landscapes in one go: the rugged coastline and the open moorland.

The route is an adaptation of the Whitby Abbey Lands Walk. For the first half, you follow the Cleveland Way from Ravenscar to Sandsend, keeping the North Sea to your side as you head along the coast. From Sandsend, the path cuts inland and crosses the moor to loop back to the start point at Grouse Hill. It's a long day on your feet, and the change in scenery—from the cliff-top views of the coast to the wide, open stretches of the moor—is a big part of the appeal.

If you're training for something bigger, there's an extra incentive here: the walk has been accepted as a qualifier for the 2028 LDWA 100, so it counts toward the distance you need to prove you're ready for that one. Whether you're eyeing the 100 or just fancy a proper day out in the North Yorkshire countryside, it's a solid distance to tick off.

It all kicks off on Saturday 12 June 2027, with Grouse Hill serving as both the start and the finish line. You'll be out on the Cleveland Way from Ravenscar to Sandsend before cutting across the moor back to the start, 50 miles in total.
