Barnby‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 천연기념물

If you are following the Cleveland Way it would be too easy to take the shortcut from the top of the hill, heading towards Staithes as the crow flies. Following the track down the headland to the Nab does not add that much distance, and gives better views.

Many of the photos posted are actually Thomason Foss, which is 50m further upstream. This little waterfall is very broad and shallow, almost like a set of rapids, with lots of huge flat boulders flanking the northern shore that make a perfect perch for an impromptu rest. Note that the track from Beck Hole to this waterfall is very boggy in places, and part of the track is very high up and narrow, making it slightly difficult to navigate in summer when the gorse bushes are encroaching over the track. Slow and steady with good footwear is essential.

Bit of confusion going on here. This is actually Black Nab, which looks like a submarine conning tower at high tide, as as the tide slowly ebbs, it looks as if a submarine's casing is appearing. Some of the photos in this highlight do look like a profile view of a whale, but that is Saltwick Nab which is a couple hundred metres further north.

What a interesting place this must of taken a lot of making back in the day 1790.

It is said the Hermitage dates back to the 18th century and that it was the home of a hermit who lived a life of foraging for fuel and food in the woods. The Hermitage is ideal for an emergency bivvy shelter.

Impressive sight from the coastal path.

St Hilda is renowned to be the most famous Saint of the Anglo-Saxon times. She was a discinple of St Aidan of Lindisfarne, and the Abbess of Whitby. The church here is from the 18th century, though, built on the site of a previous one, probably from the 12th century. However, in the graveyard you will find St Hilda's Well (Grade II-listed), which was a place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages (and now, of your own pilgrimage!)

This very distinctive headland between Jet Wyke and Brackenberry Wyke is a result of a combination of mining and coastal erosion. The views down (and up) the coast are nothing short of spectacular.
