These maps are available at a scale of 1:25 000 and can be ordered from the North York Moors National Park on-line shop. The Outdoor Leisure maps cover the whole of the Cleveland Way between Helmsley and Scarborough. For the final section from Scarborough to Filey you will need the OS Explorer 301.
