On the summit of Simon Howe you find a well-preserved Bronze Age round cairn, a stone row, and a standing stone. The spot also affords wonderful views over the wild expanse of Goathland Moor and beyond.

Fantastic 360 degree views and a variety of routeing options. I can't comment on the track west to Wheeldale Lodge or the bridleway south along Simon Howe Rigg to Cropton Forest, but both the bridleway north to Goathland, and the track east to Fen Bog Nature Reserve and the A169 are good quality tracks over easy terrain. The track east to Fen Bog is still quite waterlogged and boggy in some places even in July, but it is quite easy to skirt around these over the heather.

Prominent feature in the landscape. Interesting archaeologically. Great views of the moors.
