Roseberry Topping Entrance

Highlight • Trail

Nice and easy to park, albeit pricey but a nice easy stroll until the gate then you can go one of many ways until the top

Newton Wood

Highlight • Natural

This is a wonderful old woodland to stroll through at any time of year. However, if you are lucky enough to be sauntering through here during bluebell season (April-May), then prepare to have your breath taken away — it’s a spectacular sight to behold. Parts of this broad-leaved woodland, which comprises oak, rowan, ash, alder and sycamore, have existed for more than 400 years. If you enjoy bird-watching, keep an eye out for great spotted woodpeckers, blue tits, woodcock, wood warblers and flycatchers.

Roseberry Topping Shooting Box

Highlight • Monument

This curious Grade II-listed building was built for members of the local gentry when they visited the glorious Roseberry Topping. It was designed for use either as a shooting box or as a place to take shelter and enjoy a picnic. It commands splendid views of the surrounding countryside, especially towards Roseberry Topping – 'the Matterhorn of Yorkshire'.

Roseberry Topping Summit

Highlight • Summit

Roseberry Topping erupts proudly from the level landscape of the North York Moors; its dramatic shape inspiring many photographers and painters. It’s a relatively challenging, but manageable, hike to the summit, and you’re treated to spectacular views once there.

Roseberry Topping is known locally as the ‘Yorkshire Matterhorn’ because its shape reminds people of the pyramidal peak that straddles the Swiss and Italian border. There are a few different route options to the top, of varying difficulties.
