3 1/1 Head to the northern end of the Yorkshire Coast and enjoy an impressive section between Saltburn and Skinningrove. Unusually for a coastal hike, there is an impressive detour up Warsett Hill to complete a circular. Start the walk at Saltburn although it is perfectly possible to start at Skinningrove. Saltburn is a Victorian spa town which has retained many of its old features and still gives a feel of a bygone age.
