'Please avoid walking or cycling in the vicinity of the affected area.

'Coast to Coast walkers are advised to pick up the Esk Valley Walk at Grosmont, following the leaping salmon waymarkers to Whitby. At Whitby, follow the Cleveland Way to Robin Hood's Bay - though please note that smoke may be affecting this section.'
