This curious Grade II-listed building was built for members of the local gentry when they visited the glorious Roseberry Topping. It was designed for use either as a shooting box or as a place to take shelter and enjoy a picnic. It commands splendid views of the surrounding countryside, especially towards Roseberry Topping – 'the Matterhorn of Yorkshire'.

I love the tree at the bottom. It looks like the tree off the Lion King and the kids will appreciate it.
