Roseberry Topping 10/10/2017 Dales Trails |Home | Calendar | Trans-Dales Trail 1 | Trans-Dales Trail 2 | Trans-Dales Trail 3 | Go walking with Underwood | Dales Trails NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS - Roseberry Topping Roseberry Topping & Capt Cooks Monument A classic walk over undulating heather moorland, taking in the distinctive conical hill of Roseberry Topping, the viewpoint at Highcliffe Nab, and the prominent monument to Captain Cook. By August the moors should be an expanse of purple heather.

(Start) For the first half of this walk you will be following the Cleveland Way. So from the carpark in Gribdale follow the Way due north steeply up the hillside onto Great Ayton Moor. The terrain levels out and you now have a pleasant undulating stroll for nearly 2 miles along the edge of the moor. To your right extends the expanse of moorland, best in late summer when the heather is in bloom. Near the path are ancient earthworks - evidence that our prehistoric ancestors made their home here. The escarpment on your left is wooded, but gaps allow views towards Great Ayton and Roseberry Topping. 2. (3.5km/2miles) At a gate you must decide whether or not to visit this hill. Although it does involve a modest descent the climb is only 266ft compared with the 750ft of the direct ascent from Newton-under- Roseberry, so down you go. In the grassy hollow between the moor and this 'outlier', the hill rears up and seems much higher and steeper, but take the zig-zag path at your own pace and you will soon be rewarded by the all-round views. There is industrial Tees-side to the north (probably under a blanket of murk), Guisborough and the North Sea to the east, Captain Cook's monument to the south, and the continuation of the Cleveland escarpment across to the west. 3. (4.5km, 2˝ miles) Now you must retrace you steps down and up back to the gate onto the moor. Paths radiate from this corner - you need to follow the wide track straight across the moor. This is the Cleveland Way, heading due east. The track dips down to a corner from which you continue along the edge of a plantation. At the meeting of another track go right through a gate and climb a little way onto the moor before swinging left. (The track straight ahead could be used as a short cut to the gates on Percy Cross Rigg at point 4). Continue on the well-worn path across Black Nab after which it dips to come alongside a wall below Highcliffe Farm. This area is surprisingly squelchy and your progress will be slowed as you pick your way through. Climb up alongside the wall to a gate at the corner of Highcliffe Wood. Another short detour through the gate, then forking right through the woods brings you to the craggy outcrop of Highcliffe Nab. This makes an excellent spot for a break with views over Guisborough to the Tees estuary. 4. (7.8km, 4ľ miles) Return to the gate onto the moor. It's time to say farewell, for now, to the Cleveland Way and head almost due south on a clear track across the moor. After surmounting the gentle rise of Codhill Heights, green fields appear ahead. This is the remote valley of Sleddale. The track gently descends to meet a road leading to Sleddale Farm. Turn right up this road, which then dips to cross Sleddale Beck after which there is a steady pull up over the moor to a T-junction with the road along Percy Cross Rigg. Turn right and walk up the road for ˝ mile to a gate at the end of the tarmac. (This is where the 'short-cut' emerges) 5. (11.2km, 7Ľmiles) Do not proceed straight ahead, but turn sharp left through another gate. This stony track descends by the western boundary of Lonsdale plantation to a junction with a minor road by some barns. (Turning right here provides another short-cut option as Gribdale car park is only about a mile along the road.) Walk straight ahead along http://www.dalestrails.co.uk/Roseberry.htm 2/3 10/10/2017 Dales Trails the road through open country, over Lonsdale Beck and past Lonsdale Farm. You are now faced with another pull up through woodland onto the ridge. At the top you again meet the Cleveland Way, which has followed the road up from Kildale. 6. (13.2km/8Ľmiles) So follow the Cleveland Way due west through woodland. Keep to the main path, which keeps more or less level, for about ľ mile at which point you are faced with another short climb up onto the plateau of Easby Moor. There a short distance ahead stands the 51ft high monument to Captain Cook. Although visible throughout earlier stages of the walk, it has latterly been hidden by trees until this point. The monument was erected in 1828 to commemorate the centenary of Cooks birth. It stands at this prime location, which, at 1063ft, is higher than Roseberry Topping. Once again there are views from the west round to the east - in fact you can trace a large proportion of this walk from Roseberry Topping and across the moors to Highcliffe Nab. 7. (14.5km/ 9Ľmiles) You are now only just over ˝mile from Gribdale - so make sure you leave the monument in the right direction! You must head north from the monument across Easby Moor, then descend by steps and a stony track down through trees into Gribdale (15.8km/9ľmiles) Along the Way James Cook was born in 1728 in Marton on the outskirts of Middlesbrough. In 1736 the family moved to Airy Holme Farm, below Roseberry Topping, and James attended school in Great Ayton. After jobs as a farm hand and as an apprentice draper he went to sea working on North Sea colliers before joining the Royal Navy aged 27. He soon gained a great reputation as a navigator and charted the coasts of eastern Australia, New Zealand, and much of the South Pacific. In 1779 Captain James Cook was killed on the island of Hawaii. The full story is to be found on the cast-iron plaques on his monument. The strange outline of Roseberry Topping has resulted from its unstable geology and the quarrying for jet and ironstone. Now in the care of the National Trust, much work is being done to limit a new form of erosion - caused by the attention of thousands of visitors every year.

  • Roseberry Topping a Short Tour of the Celebrated Landmark the Book “Roseberry Topping”
    Roseberry Topping a short tour of the celebrated landmark The book “Roseberry Topping” This presentation is taken from a book, published in 2006, by the local history group Great Ayton Community Archaeology and the landscape photographer Joe Cornish, who lives in Great Ayton. All 3,000 copies of the publication were sold in six months or so, and copies rarely, if ever, appear on the second-hand market. Geology Roseberry Topping consists of almost horizontal strata arranged like a layer cake. Saltwick Sandstone cap Whitby Mudstone (with jet at lower levels) Cleveland Ironstone Staithes Sandstone Origin of the name The name Roseberry Topping derives from Othenesberg, Old Norse for the hill of Odin, named by the Scandinavian invaders. The initial “R” arose from the village of Newton-under- Roseberry, with alliteration of the “r” of “under”. Toppinn is Old Norse for hill. This became Anglicised into Topping. Roseberry is the only location in Britain to be overtly named after Odin, and was clearly held in high regards by the Scandinavians. Lord Rosebery In spite of the slightly different spelling, the title “Lord Rosebery” does derive from the Topping. The Earldom of Roseberry was created in 1703 by Queen Anne, in recognition of Sir Archibald Primrose’s support for William of Orange. The Primrose family owned land near Roseberry Topping, and thought the name “Roseberry” had a good sound to it, hence they adopted the name for the title. Over the years it lost one of its “r” letters. The Fifth Earl, shown here, is remembered for having three ambitions; to marry the richest woman in England, to become Prime Minister and to win the Derby with one of his horses.

  • The Yorkshire Matterhorn
    Viewpoint The Yorkshire Matterhorn Time: 15 mins Region: Yorkshire and the Humber Landscape: rural Location: National Trust car park at Roseberry Topping, off A173, near Newton under Roseberry, Cleveland, North York Moors, TS9 6QS Grid reference: NZ 57000 12800 Driving through the gently rolling landscape on the edge of the North York Moors, you cannot fail to notice the craggy peak of Roseberry Topping standing proudly like a church spire amongst a cluster of cottage rooftops. The hill is known locally as ‘the Yorkshire Matterhorn’ because its shape reminds people of the pyramidal peak of that mighty mountain. Straddling the Swiss and Italian border, and standing 4478m tall, the Matterhorn is one of Europe’s highest mountains. What has produced Roseberry Topping’s distinctive shape and made visitors think of a mountain over 965 miles away? There are two reasons for the curious profile of Roseberry Topping. The first is down to geology, or the rocks that make up this area. Roseberry Topping is rather like a layer cake, with bands of different rocks sitting one on top of the other. The base is sandstone, next is a layer of ironstone, then mudstone, and it is topped off with a sandstone cap. The other hills in the area are also layered from these stones, but most do not have a sandstone cap. Over the years wind, rain and ice have battered the local hills, slowly breaking down the rocks and washing them away in a process called erosion. This has left the rounded moors we see today. Sandstone, however, is a harder rock than the others in the area, so the cap on Roseberry Topping acted like a shield and gave it more protection.

  • Published Books on Great Ayton and Roseberry Topping Ian Pearce April 2012
    Published books on Great Ayton and Roseberry Topping Ian Pearce April 2012 The obvious sources of information about Great Ayton are the classic authors such as Graves, Ord and Atkinson, and Dan O’Sullivan’s more recent and more comprehensive history of the village. However, there are many other published books on Cleveland which include references to Great Ayton. This article is intended to be a guide to these sources, some of which are difficult to find. Within each group books are listed by date of original publication. There is a summary of the information relevant to the village. Many of the books are available in the reference sections of local libraries; Northallerton and Middlesbrough can be recommended. Some of the older texts are available on the internet. Some books written by people living in the village, such as George Dixon’s natural history books, are included because of their close associations with the village. History of Great Ayton School Published for the Jubilee Committee, 1891 Extremely rare, copies likely to be several hundred pounds. The first fifty years of the Friends’ School, originally the North of England Agricultural School, largely written by George Dixon, the school’s first superintendent. The school was established to educate the children of Friends who had married out of the Society: boys were trained as agricultural workers, girls for domestic service. George Dixon was an obvious choice for the position of the first superintendent, having farming and teaching experience and a staunch Quaker. George describes his life before coming to Great Ayton, and how the family arrived at Philip Helseton’s house on High Green in 1841 to start the school.

  • 1827 Captain Cook's Monument If You Live in North Yorkshire You Have
    1827 Captain Cook’s Monument If you live in North Yorkshire you have probably seen Captain Cook’s Monument, which stands on Easby Moor, near Great Ayton. It was erected in 1827. Robert Campion, a Whitby businessman and Lord of the Manor of Easby, had tried to raise funds to pay for the monument but was unsuccessful, so he paid for the monument himself. The monument was built in memory of Captain James Cook (1728-1779). Captain Cook was an explorer, navigator, cartographer and Captain of the Royal Navy. He was born and brought up in North Yorkshire. His birthplace was Marton, about 6 miles from the monument. James Cook lived at Great Ayton as a child, moving to Staithes as a grocer’s apprentice and then to Whitby as a Merchant Navy Apprentice. Later on he became a Captain with the Royal Navy and explored the world. He was killed at at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It was intended that the monument would be 3.6 metres square at the base and 12 metres high. Building started on 27th July 1827, which was Campion’s birthday, and completed on 27th October 1827, which was Captain Cook’s birthday. When it was completed it actually measured 15.5 metres high. On the monument was an inscription saying that it had been erected as a token of respect for Captain Cook, who was admired for the work he had done. Both at the start and end of the build there were celebrations by Campion, his family, workers, and Captain Cook’s nephew Mr.
