ノースヨークムーアズ国立公園のおすすめランニングルート

Until 1912, Roseberry Topping had a smooth, sugarloaf‑like peak. A geological fault combined with underground mining caused a massive collapse, giving the summit its modern jagged profile. The climb up from the car park is steep and can be very busy, even before sunrise in winter where you can see a small procession of torches slowly ascending.

Great views and early on a Sunday morning is best to beat the crowds. The obelisk is hollow and originally had a doorway you could walk through, before it was sealed during a 19th‑century restoration. A lightning strike in 1960 almost split the monument down the middle after the lightning conductor installed in 1895 rusted away. Earlier lightning strikes in the 19th century had already blown off the original doorway and obliterated the cast‑iron plaques. Fun fact - allegedly - the monument contains a hidden time capsule. When the foundation stone was laid in 1827, commemorative items were placed inside, including a portrait of Captain Cook and a glass plate etched with details of the event.

Directly in front of the monument, take a stroll about 30-50 paces and you will have some very decent views of the area!

Great for all skills

One of many viewpoints along the route that runs from Saltergate Car Park along Old Wife's Way, passing Newgate Brow and Crosscliff Brow on the way to Jerry Noddle. An easy and worthwhile route to follow. Great quality track and quieter than the middle of Dalby Forest, allowing access to Langdale Forest if you are planning on covering some extra distance.

Great views on a clear day, only a short hop to Hayburn Wyke waterfall just to the south.

Whilst this waterfall is relatively accessible, as others point out it is a bit of a scramble, with the rocks still quite slippery and treacherous in the height of summer, as they are permanently in the shade and damp. In summer, the valley that the track to the waterfall runs through provides welcome respite from the heat of the day.
