Sutton Bank Bikes Shop & Bike Wash

Highlight • Rest Area

Great shop located at the visitor centre for the Sutton Bank bike trails, where you'll also find a cafe, toilets and parking.

Managed to slip me in for a quick brake bleed when I got to the top and realised my front brake was a bit spongy.

Very helpful staff and a great variety of products/bikes.

Sutton Bank National Park Centre

Highlight • Cafe

This is the North York Moors National Park visitor centre, café and information centre. An excellent place to stop for food and drink. A series of footpaths from here, minutes from the centre itself, is very pleasant and there are excellent views all the way to Yorkshire Dales from near here. Also, spot the lovely wooden sculptures of animals peppered all over the place!

View of Gormire Lake from Whitestone Cliff

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

High on Whitestone Cliff, on part of the classic Cleveland Way trail, you are rewarded with spectacular views over Gormire Lake and miles beyond.

If you are exploring Garbutt Wood Nature Reserve and the lake from below, it's worth a stroll to the cliff tops for the views. You won’t regret it.

Sutton Bank Mountain Bike Trails

Highlight • MTB Park

A mix of gentle trail centre and bridleways track makes for a bit of a different riding experience out across parts of the Cleveland way. About halfway round is an excellent bit of downhill, but also be aware the climb back up shortly after is extremely steep and will get your legs and lungs burning!

Gormire Lake and Garbutt Wood Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

This peaceful woodland nature reserve is complete with a fresh lake and dramatic cliffs rising from the treetops. From 1,001 feet (305 m) above sea level on the cliff top, the reserve tumbles 492 feet (150 m) to Lake Gormire. Above the cliff, you'll find bilberry and heather moorland. Below, you'll find a predominately birch, oak and holly woodland with lichens, mosses and ferns thriving, as well as flowers such as fleabane, ragged robin and common spotted orchid.

Cube-like Boulder near Gormire Lake

Highlight • Natural

A very curious and isolated boulder on the track down to Gormire Lake. Nearly, but not quite a perfect cube. It is around 8-10 feet on all sides.
