Skelton Tower is a great photographic opportunity in its own right. From there views over the North Yorks Moors Railway can be had. A good spot for a refreshment break and a chance to shelter from the wind if the weather is bad.

A ruined two-story structure built around 1830 by Reverend Robert Skelton, the rector of Levisham. It was initially used as a shooting lodge and possibly as a retreat for Skelton to write sermons or enjoy quiet drinks. Situated on Corn Hill Point, a grassy headland overlooking Newtondale, there are fabulous views of both Cropton Forest and the NYMR.
