Urra Moor is the highest of the North York Moors, with Round Hill marking the summit.

Other than fellow walkers, there's a chance you'll bump into archaeologists up on the moor. This specific area is home to a number of prehistoric remains, including barrows and carved stones, some with cup and ring carvings.

Highest moorland of the North York Moors, with "Round Hill" (454m) as the top.
The name is a mix of Old English and Old Norse and means something like "Dirty Hill".
Urra Moor is known for its prehistoric remains. [7] There are a number of burial mounds and several sculpted rocks, including some carvings of cups and rings. The most striking remains is probably the Face Stone, a carved stone about 1 meter high into which the shape of a face is carved.

Urra Moor is fairly large and criss-crossed with several walking routes, some more popular than others. As a result, there are great panoramic views to be had in all directions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urra_Moor
