Ravenscar shore access?

[Wimberry]

Hi folks.
I’m trying to locate any fishermen’s paths down to the shoreline beneath Raven Hall Hotel. I know the tourist path but I’ve heard that there are others dropping down from the cliff tops south of the hotel. Does anyone know anything about these?

Only been down once and down the steps but travel light it’s a killer!
Don’t know what it fishes like now but loads of seals down there
Maybe Skaterboy will know better.

There was a path down to Blea Wyke that started on the cliff edge down from Station Square. The path is still shown on Ordnance Survey maps and there are gaps in the bushes which could be the start of a path but I haven't been down there for many years and can't say for certain if you can still get down. The path is still visible lower down the cliff though so it might be worth having a look around there. The rocks below the hotel and Blea Wyke were good cod marks but as Dek said there is now a big seal colony which seems to get bigger every year and the fishing has suffered badly.

Thanks you two, much appreciated. I'll do some exploring in February and post any results.
