Walk to Sutton Bank not just for the stunning scenery, but to watch gliders take off, towed by small planes, and glide back down. Sometimes they feel just an arm’s length away! A unique and thrilling sight.

Finest View in England

Great views

One of many good quality tracks and paths that riddle the plantations and woodland around Hood Hill, with many of them providing welcome shade on very hot and sunny days.

Large car park under the White Horse, £2.50 all day as at July 2024. Free parking in a smaller off-road car park on Osgodby Bank at the southern end of Hood Hill Plantation. Very steep steps up to the top, but there is a metal handrail that alternates from the left to right side of the steps. Fabulous views from the top, although as others mention, you can only really see and appreciate the horse from the bottom of the bank.

Free parking on Osgodby Bank to the south of the plantation. Plenty of broad tracks and narrow paths to choose from, with some steep gradients and access up to the Kilburn White Horse.

Iconic landmark on the plateau above Roulston Scar near Sutton Bank. Founded in 1934, the Yorkshire Gliding Club boasts a fascinating history and once included Amy Johnson as a member. Plenty of benches along the Cleveland Way where you can stop and watch when flying is taking place.

Needs to be viewed from the bottom carpark

This is a lovely place to stop. (If you don't, you're missing one of the most famous landmarks in North Yorkshire!). Typically there's an ice-cream and tea/coffee van here, so you should be able to get a snack. There are a few benches provided from which you will be able to admire the massive Kilburn White Horse on the slopes above. Near where the van is usually parked, you will see the steep steps heading up to the Horse. It's worth securing your bike somewhere and walking up to enjoy the superb views from above.

One of these "I am so glad I am alive" views from here. From Roulston Scar on Sutton Bank, to the north you can admire Hambleton Hills, and to the west, past the wooded Hood Hill, over the countryside down below you can see (on clear days) all the way to the Yorkshire Dales. A stunning, unforgettable placce.

A moving memorial is to be found here to all the allied nations' aircrews who lost their lives during WW2, but also specifically to the crew of Halifax bomber JD105 10sqn Melbourne who crashed nearby in 1943. There is something additionally evocative about this particular memorial, with the far-reaching commanding views of the countryside below and of the Yorkshire Dales in the far distance from Sutton Bank here.

High on Whitestone Cliff, on part of the classic Cleveland Way trail, you are rewarded with spectacular views over Gormire Lake and miles beyond. If you are exploring Garbutt Wood Nature Reserve and the lake from below, it's worth a stroll to the cliff tops for the views. You won’t regret it.

The Kilburn White Horse is one of only four such hill figures in the UK and is an impressive sight to behold. Carved into the hillside in 1857, it has stood the test of time and is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of its creators. Legend has it that the horse was created to honour a local racehorse named "White Surrey," who won a famous race in the area in the 18th century. The story of the horse and its creators is a fascinating one that is sure to interest history buffs. If you make the climb to the top of the hill you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding North York Moors National Park. It's a great spot for a picnic or to take in the natural beauty of the area.

A perfect place to hike whether you want a flat walk along the top or about 800ft ascent

This sprawling mixed woodland covers the side of Hood Hill and reaches up to the Kilburn White Horse. There are seemingly endless trails through the woods and you can hike for hours here, enjoying the sights and sounds of the woodland.
