ライデールの絶景の山頂・トップ13

Many paths. Quiet and beautiful. Perfect for a mountain and a gravel bike.

Would of been some view but fog was in today

Carr Cote Ridge 308m P11.4 (1010ft) (Hill ID: 511650) [JNSA s9501] County of Yorkshire Definitive List summit North York Moors National Park Definitive List summit Kent List summit Two round barrows 20 metres apart in a prominent position on the summit of Carr Cote Ridge. There is a large fallen boundary stone (post medieval) at the eastern edge of the northern barrow known as the Hanging Stone, one of many such named on the North Yorkshire Moors. It once stood upright in the centre of the barrow and was a prominent landmark. Historic England List Entry Number 1009368 tells us that it is 3.3m long and 0.5 m square in section. It also tells us that the northern barrow(SE 58440 92920) on which it stands is made of earth and stone and is 10m in diameter and 1m high. The other barrow (SE 58433 92893) 25m to the south is also made of earth and stone (with a robbed out centre), is 14m in diameter and 1.5m high. This barrow was also at one time surrounded by a ditch up to 3m wide but has become filled in over the years and is no longer visible

Great views southwest across the Castle Howard estate. Descend the public bridleway south alongside Spring Wood to join a public footpath that runs west to Bog Hall, from which you can follow further public footpaths either north or south around the estate.

This location was about 10 miles into this trail. It is a crossroads in Dalby Forest. You can rest the bikes against several fences & gates, then sit down on an elevated drain type seat. Good point to rehydrate and eat

Highest point in the North York Moors with beautiful views in all directions. From here you can take several options to cycle down.

There are great views from this spot, right next to Hepton Hill (the summit is actually on the road by the same name, just next to this place). It's a lovely vista, particularly towards Castle Howard into the distance and the hills in general. There is a seat provided as well

A rather oddly located trig point, nonetheless it's worth noticing it as this is actually the highest point in Dalby Forest, at 248 m! Ordnance Survey have these days stopped placing trig points, which is perhaps good, as this one is now obviously surrounded by forest.
