Danby Beacon is one of the highest points on the North York Moors, a historic signal station and landmark with sweeping views over the Esk Valley and surrounding moorland. It has been used for centuries as a warning beacon, a radar site in WWII. Plenty of off-road parking available, although it is quite rutted and very bumpy.

The vast majority of small sacred monuments encountered by cyclists have a very long history, often dating back centuries. This is completely different with the object found here. Even though the cross on top of the shaft draws on the ancient tradition and formal language of a "Celtic cross," it is very modern. It was erected to mark the turn of the millennium, which is why it is also called the "Millennium Cross." Therefore, here is a very short passage from the prayer for the Stations of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, on Good Friday of the Jubilee Year 2000: + "To you, crucified Lord Jesus Christ, the power and wisdom of God, be honor and praise forever and ever. Amen."

Wayside crosses are one of several types of Christian cross erected during the medieval period, mostly from the 9th to 15th centuries AD. In addition to serving the function of reiterating and reinforcing the Christian faith amongst those who passed the cross and of reassuring the traveller, wayside crosses often fulfilled a role as waymarkers, especially in difficult and otherwise unmarked terrain. The crosses might be on regularly used routes linking ordinary settlements or on routes having a more specifically religious function, including those providing access to religious sites for parishioners and funeral processions, or marking long-distance routes frequented on pilgrimages. Over 350 wayside crosses are known nationally, concentrated in south west England throughout Cornwall and on Dartmoor where they form the commonest type of stone cross. A small group also occurs on the North York Moors. The wayside cross and boundary marker known as Young Ralph survive complete even though previously broken and repaired. The cross marks the highest point on the old road from Keldholme in the south of the moors to Castleton in the north. It also marks the boundary of the Wapentake of Pickering Lyth. It has been adopted as the symbol of the North York Moors National Park and has been a listed monument since 1938.

Ingleby Greenhow is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire. The name may derive from the Saxon for Englishman's green hill.

The village of Hutton Rudby lies between the North Yorkshire market towns of Yarm and Stokesley and is close to the North York Moors National Park.

Clay Bank Car Park sits just below the top B1257 road. It is a great place to start walks on the moors to the east or the Cleveland Hills to the west. There is also fantastic views from this place.
