Great Views of Rosedale from a flat, cinder and gravel track. Bank Top was where all the ironstone mined during the Victorian era came for processing and transport. There would have been a railway, processing works, houses, plus more at this spot in the mid-19th century. Today, the crumbling kilns, chimneys and other ruins here are testament to a bygone industry.

Wow, just amazing. Rode here on my own, the tranquility was outstanding and worth the effort.
