가장 멋진 노스 요크 무어 국립공원 자연유산 20곳

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.

This is where I realised wearing new boots for a hike this long was a BAD idea!

Lots of view points, people rock climbing and the up and downs test you as they are short, but a touch punchy for their short elevation!

Great for all skills

Gormire Lake is a natural lowland lake that lies at the foot of Whitestone Cliff, a western escarpment of the Hambleton Hills

Meaning "filthy swamp", there are many local legends and myths surrounding this lake, such as it is bottomless (it is 6.5m deep) and was created by an earthquake that swallowed a village resulting in the lake today (it is a glacial lake).

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.

Judging from the number of recommendations, photos and tips, this is a hugely popular spot. If you can, get up there nice and early (I started 5.30am in May) to catch the rising sun and see the stones in a mix of sunlight and shadow, both from afar and close up. Spectacular rock formations and views all round.

More spectacular views. The approach from the west is easier with a more gentle incline than the approach from the east, which involves a series of twisting turning steep steps, good safe footing but hard going both up and down.

Take the open path to the South back to Carlton Bank. The views are good and it is a pleasant path. Avoid the dull and predictable forest track to the North recommended by most others

Carlton Bank is 408 m (1,339 ft), The summit provides extensive views of Teesside.

The beautiful 70 ft high Mallyan Spout waterfall is the tallest one in the North York Moors National Park. It is not recommended for anyone with mobility issues as it involves scrambling over rocks.

A must-see - you can't miss this. This is the tallest waterfall in North York Moors, with a 70 feet vertical drop. Many people call the sight and the experience of it 'epic'!

From here, to the south, you can admire far-reaching views of Cleveland Hills, and to the north the plains leading up to the city of Middlesbrough in the distance from high above! And then there is the added bonus of the view of Roseberry Topping and The Wainstones and the Hasty Bank. Inspiring, and, frankly, awesome.

It's a bit of a scramble over rocks to get to the water spout, but it's worth it. However, we lost the path at that point. We could see a path on the far sides of the falls, but could not work out how to get there. In the end, we had to divert in another direction.

Amazing views of Gormire Lake from the high paths of the Cleveland Way

Gormire Lake is a stunning natural wonder surrounded by picturesque woodland and steep cliffs, providing breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. It is a hidden gem, as it can only be accessed on foot, which adds to its charm and exclusivity. Gormire Lake is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest, as it is home to a diverse range of plants and wildlife, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. With its tranquil beauty and ecological importance, Gormire Lake is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and enriching outdoor experience.

Stunning view points all along the high path over lake.

A rough pile of rocks on the ridge west of White Hill is fun to run over and offers amazing views south over the North York Moors National Park and north across the much flatter land towards Middlesbrough. The ridge is on the Cleveland Way National Trail, but it also works well on several shorter runs.
