The Cleveland Way takes you in some high and lonely moorland country, where the weather can be severe. It will be best if you supplement your guide book with one of the maps available in our Bookshop. We offer a choice that will help keep you on course.

 
 Footprint Map
 

This 1994 map, price £4.95, will take you the full length of the Cleveland Way, Helmsley to Filey (i.e. without the link route which has completed the circuit back to Helmsley since the map was produced). The map divides the route nine sections, each shown on a single panel. The map folds neatly to allow you convenient access to each panel, and you may well find that each one is a comfortable day's walk between places where you can find accommodation.

A gentle note of caution here: in order to achieve this neat arrangement the editors have varied the scale of the map. On one panel you might be working to a generous 1.75 inches to the mile; on another to a tight old-fashioned 1inch. These maps are an acquired taste. Undoubtedly, they are clear and reduce painful decision-making. But, since the land for only a short distance on either side of the route is shown, you may find that this takes away some of your enjoyment of the landscape; you can't use them to give yourself the broader picture, lining up the hilltops around you, for example.

They do however, provide supplementary information to assist you in planning your walk: some brief route-finding instructions, and red panels indicate in brief terms what useful facilities you will find at each population centre the walk arrives at.

This Footprint Map is not waterproof, though it does come in a cellophane packet which will allow you to protect it against some of the weather challenges you might meet.

 Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps
Scale 1:25,000; 4cm to 1km; 2½ inches to 1 mile

This scale provides detail for the really committed navigator and map enthusiast. Studying the country down to its every wall and ditch gives real confidence in route finding and satisfaction in "reading" the landscape.

To cover the Cleveland Way and the Tabular Hill link between the coast and Helmsley using Explorer maps, you'll need OL26, OL27 and 301

 
These maps are available in three editions:

Paper - they fold well, and are backed with a reasonably durable laminated cover. They will remain intact, depending on how much wind and rain you have encountered!

Wilderness - laminated, tear resistant and waterproof they are designed for use in wind and rain and should arrive home with you as a permanent souvenir.

Lam-Fold - extra strong lamination with a 'china-graph' write-on, wipe-off surface they are also tear resistant and waterproof. They are however, a little bulkier than the 'wilderness' version.

 
 ClevelandWay Suggestions  
The Wilderness Edition maps are a good compromise between the paper maps that are likely to self-destruct in the wind, rain, sleet & snow and the heavier duty Lam-Fold Editions.

 Ordnance Survey Landranger Maps
Scale 1:50,000; 2cm to 1km; 1¼ inches to 1 mile

If you use the 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey Landranger maps you will need Sheets 93, 94, 99, 100 and 101; these cover the Cleveland Way and the Tabular Hill link between the coast and Helmsley.

1;50,000 is a good practical scale. The Cleveland Way is marked and the detail is sufficient for most situations along this walk. This scale allows you a wide perspective, too, and this is especially useful for the many and varied viewpoints this walk offers.

 
These maps are available in three editions:

Paper - they fold well, and are backed with a reasonably durable laminated cover. They will remain intact, depending on how much wind and rain you have encountered!

Wilderness - laminated, tear resistant and waterproof they are designed for use in wind and rain and should arrive home with you as a permanent souvenir.

Lam-Fold - extra strong lamination with a 'china-graph' write-on, wipe-off surface they are also tear resistant and waterproof. They are however, a little bulkier than the 'wilderness' version.

 ClevelandWay Suggestions  
Our suggestion is to take along the 'Footprint' maps for simple route-finding because, they're good value for money but take along the Explorer Series 1:25,000 as well for detailed route finding or to spread out while you're having your picnic or savouring a view.
