Iconic landmark on the plateau above Roulston Scar near Sutton Bank. Founded in 1934, the Yorkshire Gliding Club boasts a fascinating history and once included Amy Johnson as a member. Plenty of benches along the Cleveland Way where you can stop and watch when flying is taking place.

Hiking

Walk to Sutton Bank not just for the stunning scenery, but to watch gliders take off, towed by small planes, and glide back down. Sometimes they feel just an arm’s length away! A unique and thrilling sight.
