LEVEL: EASY
Filey to Hunmanby Circular 1 (shortest with least exposure to traffic):
This route takes you out of Filey in a Southerly direction on a combination of the quietest roads and bridleways, passing through local holiday parks.
On reaching the A165, there is a short distance that where the path alongside the main road is not a designated shared cycle route so is very narrow.
At Primrose Valley it becomes a wide, well-maintained officially designated cycle path.
We do not recommend you cycle on the main road unless you are a confident and experienced cyclist.
Continue along the cycle path until you reach the roundabout, where there is a signed crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists.
Once across the A165, the ride becomes more picturesque and much quieter, as you head into Hunmanby via Sands Lane. It is on road and national speed limit but is usually low on traffic at all times of year.
The route then takes you into the village via Pinfold Lane, at the end of which you will find the historic village “lock-up” on your right. Worth a photo stop! You can head straight back out of the village by turning right at this point but this route takes you left onto Stonegate.
There is then a steady climb. At the top of the junction, where this route takes you right, you may wish to make a detour by turning left into the village itself.
You will find the shops, cafes, takeaways, pubs, church memorial and gardens are just a few metres off the route (Bridlington Street).
As you come out of the village on the return, Filey Road can get particularly busy during the peak holiday season and again this road is national speed limit.
You then pick up the route you took on the way out but, for a change of view, the final leg into the town, directs you through different roads that are equally as quiet.
