Cock Howe Standing Stone

Highlight • Natural Monument

There is a round 15m barrow here on top, one of many such barrows in the Hambleton Hills. Beautiful views here over Bilsdale.

Tip by

2.78 km

Superb moorland views from up here. Another round barrow is here; one of many in the Hambleton Hills. There used to be a ditch here up to 3 m wide surrounding the mound, but that is no longer visible.

Snilesworth Moor Boundary Stone with Branch

Highlight • Structure

A truly unusual structure in Snilesworth Moor here! There are stones put around the boundary stone (in the middle) and somebody has added a branch... apparently no one really knows why!

Arnsgill Ridge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very varied stretch across Arnsgill Ridge - small grassy path, wide track and wild moorland, and you will see the Bilsdale Transmitter mast in the distance all the time.
