🏞️ Roseberry Topping 6½-Mile Walk Including Captain Cook's Monument
📍 Hi all, I’ve just published this detailed guide to a Roseberry Topping walk, now live on my website. Starting in Great Ayton at the east end of High Street near the village green, the walk offers convenient parking to set you off on a memorable hike.
🥾 This 6½-mile circular route is not too challenging and involves a total climb of 404 metres. The journey begins through Cliff Ridge Wood and takes you past landmarks such as Cliff Rigg Quarry, an 18th-century shooting box, and Captain Cook’s Monument on Easby Moor, all steeped in history.
🌄 The highlight of the trail is, of course, the summit of Roseberry Topping, a distinctive hill rising to 320 metres. From here, you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views across the North York Moors, with clear days revealing distant landmarks like the Pennines, 40–50 miles away. The descent follows part of the Cleveland Way National Trail, guiding you across Newton Moor to Captain Cook’s Monument, before continuing through Ayton Banks Wood and Little Ayton, eventually looping back to Great Ayton.
🗺️ My website features plenty of additional resources for this walk, including detailed maps, route descriptions, and historical insights. You’ll also find 38 of my photographs showcasing the stunning views and key highlights along the way. Plus, I’ve included information on tools like OS Maps and Outdooractive to help you navigate the route and access GPX files for your walk. Check out this comprehensive guide to make the most of your Roseberry Topping walk!
The Roseberry Topping walk from Great Ayton offers a rewarding hike with panoramic views, Captain Cook’s Monument, and beautiful countryside
A great late afternoon photo opportunity when returning to #TeessideInternationalAirport of Roseberry Topping, Teesside and the coast from a flight in the right hand seat this afternoon ........ Autumn is a beautiful time of the year as the colours change and paint the landscape in browns, gold and green. Reminds me how lucky we are to live where we live ... #FlyWithEden #LearnWithEden #EdenFlightTraining #RoseberryTopping #TeessideFromAbove #Teesside #NorthYorkMoors @nationaltrust (at Eden Flight Training) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGyKO4MhkHl/?igshid=6m7n3eijnni9
Another gratuitous Autumn evening shot of the majestic #RoseberryTopping taken whilst routing down to #Whitby on one of our Trial Lessons from our base at Teesside International Airport We are often asked if we ever get bored of the “same” scenery .... Each time we fly out over the beautiful NorthEast countryside, towns, cities and coastline we see something different, be it the changing colours of the landscape as we move through the seasons or the activities going on on the ground. Being airborne is never boring and we guarantee that if you want to fly yourself, our Trial and Experience Flights will leave you wanting to progress to your own Pilot Licence ..... We would love to share this with you - Check out more about the aviation services we offer here: www.edenflighttraining.co.uk #SafetyFirst #LearnWithEden #FlyWithEden #FlyingTraining #PPL #LAPL #AvGeek #FinalSkillsTest #SkillsTest #PilotTraining @teessidelive @wings_alliance @pilotgarageuk @airspare #CAA @transairflightequipment @pooleysflightequipment #CAAProudScheme #NightRating @weatherschooluk #TrialFlight #ExperienceFlight #BucketList #GiftIdea (at Roseberry Topping - National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGUPBrdhQbT/?igshid=1bf3ugx99our1

Rude not to share this fantastic sight, taken from 2500 feet on approach to the beautiful natural phenomena that is @nationaltrust #RoseberryTopping and the North Yorkshire Moors beyond on Saturday afternoon while out flying with an Experience Flight customer @edenflighttraining. On route to #Whitby and #WhitbyAbbey. I am asked to fly over this most weekends and it looks different and even more beautiful every time ... If we fly overhead and you have hiked to the top, give us a wave ! #SafetyFirst #FlyWithEden #LearnWithEden #NorthEastFlying #NorthEast #EdenFlightTraining #TeessideAirport #TeessideInternationalAirport #NorthYorkshireMoors @NorthYorkMoors #TeessideInternationalAirport @teessidelive (at Roseberry Topping - National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1jvogB6Qr/?igshid=b3x6po4cwjcf
