FAQs

Crossing the stunning moorlands of North Yorkshire and through beautiful forests to the dramatic heritage coastline, the Moor to Sea cycle route links the towns of Scarborough, Pickering and Whitby in a long distance cycle route. Featuring over 80 miles of forest tracks, lanes, and the former coastal railway, the route can be ridden in stages ranging from easy to more challenging and offers cycle hire on route.

Dalby to Highwood Brow section
Beware - road improvement works between Cockmoor Hall and High Wood Brow will be starting on 7 May. The road will remain open, but make sure contractors/drivers see you before trying to ride past.

Highwood Brow to Ravenscar section
The loop of forest track above Surgate Brow Farm on the north-eastern side of Broxa Forest has been damaged, so this is best avoided unless you want an extra off-tarmac challenge. From the car park at Reasty Bank top just turn right (south-east) on the minor road and re-join the route at the Surgate Brow road junction.

Also on this section, deep vehicle ruts between Moorland House and Smugglers Rock Guest House will probably make you get off and push. Worth it though as the alternative road route to the south east drops down only to climb back up again.

Route Guide
An attractive pack of route guide cards covering the whole Moor to Sea Cycle route is available to purchase at only £3.50 from the online shop or from local tourst information centres.

Signage
Comprehensive route signage has been installed, but there's always a chance that some road signs are missing, so when riding the Moor to Sea, please make regular map checks to avoid unnecessary miles.
