Overview

An invigorating circular walk to blow away the weekend cobwebs. We will pass a stone monument dedicated to the intrepid explorer Captain James Cook, climb the Yorkshire Matterhorn (Roseberry Topping) and follow part of the Cleveland Way. 

Mostly footpaths and bridleways, some tracks across open land. Moderate ascents and descents to work those glutes. 

Facilities on route - a shrubbery!
