Bransdale Loop, North York Moors
Highlight • Natural
The land is mostly owned by the National Trust and there are no villages, only farm houses, so it feels very remote and quiet compared to other areas of the Moors. It really is worth visiting.

Winding Road Descent in North York Moors National Park
Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint
Steep descent, watch out for the sheep & rabbits that can be on the road ! Also, after the main descent you come to a farm with a double gate so also be prepped for that.

Young Ralph Cross
Highlight • Monument
The 10-foot high (3 m) gritstone cross is of uncertain age, with some historians suggesting 11th-century origins. There was once a letter 'R' carved on its south face, though it is no longer visible today.

Fat Betty Waymarker
Highlight • Viewpoint
A wonderful tradition exists at Fat Betty of leaving a gift of food for any travellers who pass by after you and need a snack to help them on their way. So if you are at risk of bonking and are out of food, this is the place to sort you out.

Rosedale Abbey: Village Green and Graze on the Green Café
Highlight • Historical Site
The village is picturesque in itself, particularly the village green. There used to be a Cistercian Priory here, originally established here in 1158. Little remains nowadays, except for a staircase turret, a sundial and a single stone pillar. More recently, in the 19th century, the iron ore industry thrived here, but that came to an end in the 1920s.
If you like super-steep ascents, you would probably like to go up the Rosedale Chimney Bank road, south of the village, but be warned: it is actually notorious for how steep that is!
