Background

The Old Railway Line runs from Sainsburys in Scarborough through the North Yorks Moors Coast to Whitby.  It is a popular cycle path, walk way and is used by Horse Riders.  The urban sections are a great way to travel into town off road, and the countryside sections provide access to stunning coastline.
