Remains of Cropton Motte-and-Bailey Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Now it's looking like just a field in Cropton Bank, but it used to be a castle, erected soon after the Norman invasion in the 11th century. Spot the 5-6m remains of a motte rising up from the surrounding land.

View of Newton Dale from Cropton Banks Wood

Highlight • Forest

Soothing and relaxing views from here over Newton Dale, with plenty of cowslips to feast your eyes on. On the horizon in the distance (on a clear day!) you will be able to see moorland above Rosedale.
