Lythe and Kettleness Circular Walk Description
If you are after a pleasant walk that features a nice mixture of countryside and coastal views, then the Lythe and Kettleness Circular Walk will be a great adventure for you. Be sure to wear sturdy walking boots and keep your dog on a lead, as you will be traversing some open fields that will feature plenty of livestock!
Setting out from the trailhead in Lythe, you will make your way to the southwest and pass through a beautiful stretch of woodland terrain on the way into East Barnaby, before turning to the northwest to traverse the open countryside. After making your way through a bit of forest with undulating terrain, you will meet up with the coast.
From here, you will head to the east and walk along the water’s edge, passing through the village of Kettleness while taking in the stunning views across the North Sea. Continue following along the rugged coastal terrain as the path turns to the southeast, where you will enjoy some more views over the water, including Whitby to the southeast as you make the return into Lythe where you began the walk.
