20의 노스 요크 무어 국립공원가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

Great views and early on a Sunday morning is best to beat the crowds. The obelisk is hollow and originally had a doorway you could walk through, before it was sealed during a 19th‑century restoration. A lightning strike in 1960 almost split the monument down the middle after the lightning conductor installed in 1895 rusted away. Earlier lightning strikes in the 19th century had already blown off the original doorway and obliterated the cast‑iron plaques. Fun fact - allegedly - the monument contains a hidden time capsule. When the foundation stone was laid in 1827, commemorative items were placed inside, including a portrait of Captain Cook and a glass plate etched with details of the event.

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

Directly in front of the monument, take a stroll about 30-50 paces and you will have some very decent views of the area!

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

Coastal views

Something for everyone on this route - I saw hikers, trail runners and dog-walkers. But still not particularly busy, even on a summer's morning (unlike the Seven Sisters in East Sussex for example, which is the motorway equivalent of a a coast walk). Fabulous views, clear Cleveland Way signposts, good quality tracks in summer, although you can see how the ground has been churned up in the winter, and easily accessible and not too far from Robin Hood's Bay.
