An ascent of the ‘Yorkshire Matterhorn’, plus a reminder or two of the great navigator and explorer Captain Cook – just some of the delights of this classic 7-mile circular walk through dappled woodlands and across heather moorland. You’ll encounter two iconic North York Moors landmarks en route – Roseberry Topping and Cook’s Monument – so take your camera and fingers crossed for a clear day.

Coming by train on the Esk Valley Railway? Start the walk from Great Ayton station, just outside the town of Great Ayton – simply cross the railway bridge, head up the road and pick up the walk at point 13. Or you can start the walk from the Newton-Under Roseberry car park (A173), in which case walk up Roseberry Lane and turn left at point 6 (See National Park link for details).
