Hiking

Carlton Bank is a beautifully-bleak moorland summit which affords breathtaking views.

To the northeast, you can see the distinctively shaped Roseberry Topping. To the east and south, the stunning undulations of the North York Moors rise and fall. To the west, the hills drop away into the Tees Valley and you might just be able to see the shadowy form of the Pennines on the horizon.
