The "Halfway C2C" sign hangs on the wall of Keld Lodge. From here, the distance ahead is less than the distance behind you. Just a little motivation 😉

Smell of effluent on the beach, so we kept our dogs out the water

Stayed the night here on a rather cold night in early March. Despite the cold the weather was sunny and I had a wonderful sleep. Although don't expect to get a mobile reception. I must say a big thank you to the Bolton Estate for allowing walkers/cyclists/bikepackers to use this wonderful facility. If you use it please make sure you leave it as you would expect to find it.

If you're tackling the Yorkshire 3 Peaks trail, be sure to stop by the snack bar at Philpin Campsite. Open on weekends from late April to the end of September (Saturday 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM), this spot offers a range of refreshments including toast with a hot drink (£4.50), cup-a-soup with a bread roll (£1.20), and an all-day breakfast (£7.00). If the snack bar isn't open, don't worry – there are two vending machines available. One serves hot drinks like coffee and tea, and the other offers snacks such as chocolate bars and sweets. Additionally, there's a toilet available with an honesty box system. It's free to use, but you're welcome to leave a donation if you feel inclined to do so. A great pit stop on your journey!

Enchanting little cove, can be accessed by road, or via a steepish descent down the Cleveland Way (from north or south). If you are walking the Cleveland Way, don't miss a similar, but smaller, cove just 600m south where Stoupe Beck drains out over Stoupe Beck Sands. Please note that the Cleveland Way south out of Boggle Hole is closed as at July 2024. There are very clear information boards erected showing the diversion around a couple of fields, which will bring you back onto the Cleveland Way at Stoupe Beck. When I passed through, the closure was to remain in effect until Nov 2024.

Old farm house dating back to 1730

The only pub in Keld. It’s dog friendly and hikers are welcomed

Closed after a rainy day hike...soul destroying event that I don't think I will be able to recover from! Caught it open two days later. Not much there by way of coffee, or cakes. Plenty of stickies and ice cream though. More than anything it is a stunning location, the owners are charming, and has outside seating.
