Roseberry Topping

Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in the Swiss-Italian Alps. It is a symbol of the area and features in the logo of the nearby Teesside International Airport. At 1,049 feet (320 m), Roseberry Topping was traditionally thought to be the highest hill on the North York Moors but there are 15 higher peaks, with the nearby Urra Moor being the highest, at 1,490 feet (450 m). Roseberry Topping offers views of Captain Cook's Monument on Easby Moor and the monument on Eston Nab, previously a beacon.

Hiking Landmark

Langbaurgh Ridge

Langbaurgh Ridge (grid reference NZ560121) is an 8.0 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near the hamlet of Langbaurgh in North Yorkshire, England, notified in 1986. The site crosses the boundary of the Redcar and Cleveland district and the area covered by the North Yorkshire unitary authority. The site is identified as being of national importance in the Geological Conservation Review for its exposure of the Cleveland Dyke, a Palaeogene intrusion associated with the Mull central volcanic complex.

Cleveland, Yorkshire

Cleveland () is a district in North Yorkshire, England, lying between the River Tees and the North Sea on one side and the North York Moors on the other. It is coextensive with the old wapentake of Langbaurgh. The name comes from the Old English clifa land, meaning "district of cliffs". The district should not be confused with the administrative county of Cleveland (1974–1996), which covered a smaller area and included land on the north side of the Tees, in what had been County Durham.

Roseberry Mine

Roseberry Mine was an ironstone mine in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, which operated between 1883 and 1924, with a break of 24 years. Both periods of mining used a form of tramway to transport the ironstone out, which connected with the railway line north of Great Ayton railway station. The mine was located on the south side of Roseberry Topping digging into the hillside. Of the three ironstone mines in the Great Ayton area, Roseberry was the largest. In 1912, the northern slope of Roseberry Topping collapsed and slipped down the hill which has left it with a distinctive shape (it was conically shaped before the landslide). Originally, the ironstone mining was blamed, but modern investigations had concluded that extreme weather events were the cause.
