Roseberry Topping Outdoor Property Access Statement Roseberry Topping Outdoor property Access Statement Roseberry Topping Peakside Ravenscar North Yorkshire YO13 0NE T: 01723 870423 E: [email protected] Introduction Iconic Landmark At 1,049 feet (320 m) high, Roseberry Topping, with its distinctive shape, dominates the landscape on the northern edge of the North York Moors. Known as the “Matterhorn of the north” because of its half-cone summit and jagged cliff shape, created by the combination of a geological fault and a mining collapse in 1912. To reach the Topping itself you pass through fantastic array of habitats. From bluebell covered woods and heather moorland, to the open expanses of Roseberry Common and its bracken covered slopes. To the east lies Cliff Rigg quarry, a reminder of the industrial heritage that helped develop the nearby village of Great Ayton. All dogs are welcome, including Assistance Dogs. Livestock do graze in some areas so please be alert to this and put dogs on leads in these areas. NB - Mobile phone reception is generally good across the site. There are one or two spots on top of the moors and in the dips in the quarry area that are poor. In an emergency, please make contact on the phone number above as soon as you are able. Arrival & Parking Facilities Roseberry is best accessed from the car at Newton under Roseberry. (North York Moors National Park car park - Cars - £2.50 up to 2 hours - £4.50 over 2 hours Motorbikes - £1.50 single rate (non-transferable)) There is parking for 50 cars with information and toilets. These can be locked even when the car park is open. Call the National Park for more information on: 01439 772700. Page 1 of 5 National Park car park at Newton under Roseberry. From the car park, walk through the gate and up the lane (not National Trust) towards Roseberry. The track is rough but firm under foot when dry. In wetter periods the surface can become muddy and slippery on the steeper areas. A set of steps brings you to the edge of Newton Wood where National Trust ownership starts. This is marked by a sign and a map showing a brief outline of the property. Path from the car park Page 2 of 5 Trails Routes around Roseberry are not waymarked but are well used and easily to follow. The path from the National Trust sign forks into three. The left hand path leads along the bottom of the woodlands before rising up steeply on a pitched stone route. Alternatively, the path can be followed onto the Common via a kissing gate, but because of the topography this route rises and falls steeply. The second route through the woodland. The second route runs eastwards along the woodland lower slopes. Cliff Rigg Quarry can be reached via this path. It can be wet after inclement weather, with exposed tree roots in places. On arriving at an open glade area, take the path that leads uphill. At the top of this path the woodland ends and a seat is available to take a breather. The summit and obvious route can be seen. Other paths lead from this route stretching up the slopes and through the trees to the Common and Roseberry Topping beyond. The third route is a direct ascent, via a set of steps through the trees and then a stone pitched across the Common and up to the summit. A bench is located on the upper edge of the treeline. All routes include steep climbs to the summit and care needs to be taken when heading up to the top. Weather can change quickly. In dry good weather, allow 2-3 hours to reach the top and get back down again. Other routes are available: 3 miles from the Guisborough Walkway Visitor Centre, along good but steep paths, lead you to the Common. The route meets up with the Cleveland Way which arrives from over Newton Page 3 of 5 Moor and the distant Captain Cooks monument. The last part is a climb along the stone pitched Cleveland way, up the steep slopes of Roseberry Topping. A route from the Great Ayton station (no facilities) runs up through Aireyholme farm. A number of routes can be used from Great Ayton. Firstly across farmers’ fields and then up along the Cliff Rigg quarry and on to the upper reaches of the woodland. Again all routes are obvious and firm under foot but can be prone to puddling in wet weather. The third route via the steps. There are no refreshment facilities at the car park but there is a pub at Newton under Roseberry village, and cafes are available in Great Ayton and Guisborough. Occasionally in the summer time an ice cream van is present at the car park at Newton under Roseberry. Further information about trails around the property is available on our main website. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/roseberry-topping Contact details for more information T: 01723870423 E: [email protected] Page 4 of 5 Date Sept 2016 Map Page 5 of 5 Scarth Wood Moor Outdoor property Access Statement Scarth wood Moor Peakside Ravenscar North Yorkshire YO13 0NE T: 01723 870423 E: [email protected] Introduction Scarth wood Moor sits between the villages of Osmotherley and Swainby on a little winding country road just to the East of the A19. To the South lies Codbeck Reservoir, managed by Yorkshire water, it offers access around the water’s edge. Scarth Wood itself is a moorland with heather and bracken slopes stretching from the road westwards. To the East of the road is a stream and a grassy area, vert popular with picnickers. All dogs are welcome, including Assistance Dogs. Livestock do graze in some areas so please be alert to this and put dogs on leads in these areas. NB - Mobile phone reception is not very good across the site. In an emergency, please make contact on the phone number above as soon as you are able. Arrival & Parking Facilities If travelling from Osmotherley, the road winds past Codbeck reservoir and to a small carpark, suitable for 10 cars. A little further on, round the bend, there is a larger car park on your right for 40 plus cars. Small car park Page 1 of 3 Once at the car park the grassed area is in front with a slight slope down to the picnic area. The area is open access with a maze of paths leading through the bracken and heather. From the smaller car park a path leads into the Reservoir where a full loop can be undertaken coming back over some stepping stones across the stream. In the summertime, there is an ice cream van for snacks and soft drinks but this can be weather dependant. Food (cafes and pubs), and toilet facilities can be found in the villages of Osmotherley and Swainby Trails There are a number of routes which lead around the property but they are not waymarked. They are however well used and easily to follow. Across from the small carpark is the start of the Lyke Wake Walk. On the western and northern boundaries runs the Cleveland Way. There is also a loop that takes in Mount Grace priory.

  • 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.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy 2013
    Area Management Regulatory Services Environmental Protection Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 1st 2000, Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (inserted into that Act by section 57 of the Environment Act 1995) came into force. The main objective requires local authorities to take a “strategic approach” to inspecting their areas to identify land where contamination is causing unacceptable risks to human health or the wider environment. This document is the second review and sets out the manner in which Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council proposes to implement its inspection duties under Part 2A in accordance with the revised Statutory Guidance issued by the Department of Environment and Rural Affairs in April 2012 which should be read in conjunction with this Strategy. This is a comprehensive review of the Strategy to reflect the many changes in contaminated land legislation and guidance published in the last few years. Using a bespoke software package (GeoEnviron) with the Council’s GIS system, contaminated land has been identified and prioritised. The Council identified landfill sites within the borough as highest priority for inspection due to problems from landfill gas, land stability and leachate pollution, potentially posing high risks to neighbouring occupants, and therefore concentrated resources in these areas. To-date, following successful funding bids to Defra, the Council has investigated 3 former landfill sites known to have domestic waste tipped and continues to monitor and manage gas at these sites to minimise the risk to nearby residents. From the work carried out to-date, no sites have been determined as contaminated land, under the definition stated within the statutory guidance.

BACKGROUND What are Local Sites and why do we need them? 1.1 Local Sites can be Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) or Local Geological Sites (LGS). Local Wildlife Sites are areas of land which meet specific, objective criteria for nature conservation value. These criteria, which are based on the Defra guidance(1), have been decided locally by the Tees Valley Local Sites Partnership. The sites represent a range of important habitat types and variety of species that are of conservation concern. The Tees Valley RIGS (Regionally Important Geological Sites) group advises the Local Sites Partnership on the selection and management of Local Geological Sites, areas which they have identified as being of geological importance. 1.2 Local Sites can provide local contact with nature and opportunities for education, however designation as a Local Site does not confer any right of access. 1.3 Formerly known as Sites of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCIs) and RIGS, Local Sites are non-statutory site designations that have a lower level of protection than statutory designations, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Local Sites, excluding those within the North York Moors National Park, currently receive protection from certain types of inappropriate development through our Local Development Framework.

    Thesis, or Dissertation, for a Degree. The Doctor of Dolefulness Founder and Creator of The Lyke Wake Walk 1955 Chief Dirger Bill Cowley Much has been written about the creation of the LWW but I believe little has been written on the life and times i.e. a biography to one of Teesside's most famous sons. I was delighted but not surprised to find that this was a shared view by the authors of www.scouting milestone (Mike Ryalls and Colin Walker) Born: Middlesbrough 1915 (birth date unknown) Much of his childhood years were spent tramping the high moors, sleeping often in the heather or at a friendly farm. This was a prelude to the walking and climbing that was to dominate his adult life. From early school days he also showed a keen interest in the Boy Scouts. Bill's education started at Middlesbrough High from where he won a place to Jesus College Cambridge, and then on to the School of Oriental Studies. University years would be circa 1935 – 1937. During these years Bill was the founder of the Cambridge University Yorkshire Society. The girl who was the then secretary of the CUYC was to play an important but tragic part in Bills life. Her name was Mary Dyson. In 1936 a team from the CUYC walked part of what was to become the Cleveland Way. In 1938 Bill spent several months in France hiking around the countryside and using Paris as a base. Shortly after that he applied for and was accepted into the Civil Service, possibly the foreign division.

  • 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.

  • Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report
    Review of Polling Districts And Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report NOTICE OF POLLING DISTRICTS & POLLING STATION REVIEW Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places in accordance with the requirements of Section 18C(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has now published its final recommendations for new electoral arrangements for Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. The recommendations must now be approved by Parliament and a draft order, to bring in to force their recommendations, has been laid in Parliament. Subject to Parliamentary Scrutiny, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the Local Elections in 2019. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has recommended an increase in the number of wards within the Borough from 22 to 24. Each Ward is required to be sub-divided into polling districts; the number of polling districts will however decrease from 101 to 86. All polling districts have been re-categorised using with new reference letters which are more meaningful to the Ward and Parliamentary Constituency, for example BMTAM, where BMT reflects the ward (Belmont), A defines the sub district and M is the constituency the ward belongs to (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland). A polling place is provided for electors living within each polling district. The changes to Wards mean that the Council was required to carry out a review of polling districts and polling places within the Borough, pursuant to Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is therefore conducting a review of the polling districts and polling places.
