The Cleveland Way loops through the isolated splendour of the North York Moors, past historic monuments like Rievaulx Abbey, then follows the North Yorkshire coast, with marvellous seascapes. Perhaps one of the least appreciated long distance trails in England, but definitely a rewarding walk through an area of stunning scenery and heritage landscapes.

A magnificent wooded gorge in the South Pennines, with over 18 miles of footpaths, taking in waterside paths and waterfalls. The 'Crags' in the name do not refer to high peaks. Rather, the term is applied locally to the stacks of millstone grit which are a feature of the landscape.

Malham Cove is a stunning, semi-circular cliff on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The Cove is 80 metres high, and approximately 300 metres wide. It was formed by the action of water from nearby Malham Tarn rushing over a carboniferous limestone cliff, and wearing away the stone more in the centre of the cliff to form a wide curve.

The North York Moors is an area of fantastic natural beauty; by turns bleak and forbidding, then lush and colourful. The area enclosed by the park is a essentially a high plateau bordered by the Vale of Pickering and the Vale of York to the south, and by the Plain of Cleveland to the north. The best time to visit is in July and August when the moors turn brilliant purple with blooming heather.

A true landmark in the North Yorkshire landscape, Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill just beyond the northern extremity of the North York Moors National Park. The views from the summit of the hill are superb, and on a clear day you can see south over the Moors, west to the Yorkshire Dales, and over Teesdale to the north.
