The remains of this Augustinian priory include a gatehouse adorned with the De Roos family heraldry. You can also learn about the priory's role in World War II, including Winston Churchill's secret visit and its use in training and testing for D-Day.

Awesome views, an unmissable highlight. An interesting monument, known as an aedicula, stands at Jerry Noddle, which depicts a sculpture of a winged sheep made by sculptor Fiona Bowley. Commissioned in 2020 during the national lockdown, its 14th century armour represents protection against the Covid pandemic.

Free parking with access to toilets and a cafe in the courtyard, cafe a little expensive. it's also possible to park up at the woods off the Terrington Rd which save having to use the fast road section from the obelisk

Major junction of Rudland Rigg running broadly north-south and the Lyke Wake Walk running broadly east-west. West takes you past Round Hill to Urra Moor and the car park at Clay Bank, east follows the disused Farndale Railway. Most of the tracks around this location are very wide and easy walking.

This might just be one of the best views from a road in the entire North York Moors, particularly as you really might not see it coming! "Hidden" on the northern end of the village of Gillamoor, just past the church, is this incredible sweeping view of the moorland of Hutton Ridge and Spaunton Moor. You simply have to stop here!

Bloworth Crossing used to be a railway crossing. The railway line (carrying iron ore) ran from Battersby to Rosedale for 11 miles. These days, it is a cycling and walking/hiking heaven. Easy, comfortable tracks to ride on with preposterously beautiful views in just about any direction your heart directs you to look at!

Dalby Bike Barn is an all-things-bike centre right here at the heart of Dalby Forest. You can rent bikes here to then go on the many trails in the area, and also get expert bike advice and get your bike repaired. The shop also does guided rides and skills courses.

A wonderful, forested track through Thornton Dale on the eastern side of Thornton Beck. Mostly flat, with beautiful green (or yellow and orange in the autumn) all the way through. Just a good place to cycle: peace, quiet and pure leisure.
