Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Roseberry Topping
Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in Switzerland. It forms a symbolic image of the area and featured as the logo for the now defunct county of Cleveland.
At 1,049 feet (320 m), Roseberry Topping was traditionally thought to be the highest hill on the North York Moors; however, the nearby Urra Moor is higher, at 1,490 feet (450 m). It offers views of Captain Cook's Monument at Easby Moor and the monument at Eston Nab.
The hill is an outlier of the North York Moors uplands. It is formed from sandstone laid down in the Middle and Lower Jurassic periods, between 208 and 165 million years ago, which constitutes the youngest sandstone to be found in any of the National Parks in England and Wales. Its distinctive conical shape is the result of the hill's hard sandstone cap protecting the underlying shales and clays from erosion by the effects of ice, wind and rain.
The Roseberry area has been inhabited for thousands of years and the hill has long attracted attention for its distinctive shape. A Bronze Age hoard was discovered on the slopes of the hill and is now in the Sheffield City Museum. It was occupied during the Iron Age; walled enclosures and the remains of huts dating from the period are still visible in the hill's vicinity.
The hill was perhaps held in special regard by the Vikings who settled in Cleveland during the early medieval period and gave the area many of its place names. They gave Roseberry Topping its present name: first attested in 1119 as Othenesberg, its second element is accepted to derive from Old Norse bjarg ('rock'); the first element must be an Old Norse personal name, Authunn or Óthinn, giving 'Authunn's/Óthinn's rock'. If the latter, Roseberry Topping is one of only a handful of known pagan names in England, being named after the Norse god Odin and paralleled by the Old English name Wodnesberg, found for example in Woodnesborough. The name changed successively to Othensberg, Ohenseberg, Ounsberry and Ouesberry before finally settling on Roseberry.

Visiting Richmond and Leyburn in North Yorkshire | Tiger Tom and Wild Will
Visiting Richmond and Leyburn in North Yorkshire | Tiger Tom and Wild Will
It was Tom's birthday weekend and we all love to get out in the fresh air. One of our favourite places to visit is Richmond in North Yorkshire. We come here all the time, we love spending time at the Castle and playing by the river.
It was Sunday 10th February and a little chilly. The sun was out though. We parked up in Richmond and headed for lunch. Our go-to lunch stop in Richmond is fish and chips at Barkers of Richmond! The fish and chips are fantastic! We decided to skip the castle this time as we were only there last month! Instead we checked out the sweet shop and the antique shop before heading down to the river.
We were amazed at how high the water level was in the river. There had been a flood warning issued and it was obvious why! We went down onto the rocks and spent a good while trying to skim stones.
We had a walk back to the car then drove over the moors near Reeth just off Whipperdale Bank. There are army ranges here so there are only certain places you can stop but it's a great location for pictures. It was very windy though!
Finally we headed to Leyburn and the Leyburn Shawl. This is a lovely walk in Leyburn but right at the start is a big park which is almost always deserted! Tom and Will love this park and will spend ages here playing. By the time we'd finished in the park it was time to head home.
