The 37-mile walk follows the River Esk from its source high on the North York Moors, passing through Sleights and on to the coast at Whitby. It’s marked by a special waymark with a leaping salmon – yellow arrows mean a footpath and blue denotes a bridleway.

The 'Coastliner' 840 bus stops outside the Spar to Goathland, York and Leeds, (officially voted Britain’s Most Scenic Bus Route in 2018). The leg that crosses the moorland, from Pickering via Goathland and Sleights earned the service the prize. Sleights train station is half a mile away. Trains run to Whitby and Middlesbrough along the stunning Esk Valley Line. It is a real treat to see, hear and smell the iconic steam train puffing along from Whitby to Pickering on the 'North Yorkshire Moors Railway'.
