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'.

Grade II-listed building. Shooting Box or banqueting house. Late C18. Built for Captain Wilson. This building was built to shelter members of the local gentry who visited this romantic spot for picnics or for shooting.

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