York Cross on Sneaton High Moor (sometimes known as Jacks Cross) was on an old route between what is now A169 and Whitby. It is rather clear that it used to be taller and used to be an actual cross!

Hiking

York Cross stands in its original position beside the line of an old pack horse way from Hackness to Whitby known as the Pannierman's Causeway. As a wayside cross it is one of a line of crosses on this route which includes Ann's Cross on Sneaton High Moor. Traces of the old road are no longer visible in the heather. A new public footpath from the forestry land to the east leads up to Foster Howes and passes the cross to the south. The cross is Listed Grade II.
