Saltwick Bay

Saltwick Bay and Black Nab

Saturday 11th July 2015

Today, in soaring temperatures, I and several other Voluntary Rangers from North York Moors National Park were improving the public footpath from Whitby Holiday Park down to the beach at Saltwick Bay. The path (very well used) had become very overgrown, so a lot of the vegetation needed strimming back. We then cleared the grass from the steps and opened up a very clear path. The biggest job we faced was repairing the stone pitching in the final twenty metres before the beach. This had been washed away by the winter storms and we managed to reinstate it, to the delight of the many people using the path today (all our work is to the left, out of picture). My image is a shot of Saltwick Bay looking south with Black Nab jutting out of the sea. The Cleveland Way footpath runs along the top of the cliffs.
