Arrive Pickering Castle

   

ROSEBERRY TOPPING, c/o Low Staindale, Dalby, Pickering Redcar & Cleveland YO18 7LR

The peculiar shape of this hill is due to a geological fault and a mining collapse earlier this century. From the summit at 320m there is a magnificent 360-degree view, which on a clear day allows the visitor to see as far as Teesside in one direction and the Yorkshire Dales in another. Newton and Cliff Ridge Woods skirt the northern edge of the property and Cliff Rigg quarry still retains evidence of the extraction of 'whinstone', once used for road-building. The area is rich in wildlife, particularly moorland birds. A spur of the Cleveland Way National Trail runs up to the summit of Roseberry Topping

BRIDESTONES, CROSSCLIFF AND BLAKEY TOPPING, Low Staindale, Dalby, Pickering North Yorkshire YO18 7LR

The Bridestones and Crosscliff Estate covers an area of 488ha (1205 acres) and is a mixture of farmland, open moorland and woodland. Bridestones Moor, named after its peculiar rock formations created under the sea during the Jurassic period, is a SSSI and nature reserve with typical moorland vegetation, including three species of heather, an ancient woodland estimated to date from the end of the last Ice Age, and herb-rich meadows. The Bridestones Nature Trail is approximately 1˝ml long and leads visitors through a range of habitats. Blakey Topping at the northern end of Crosscliff Moor is the result of massive erosion by glacial meltwater and today gives a superb 360-degree view from its summit
