Crosscliff Viewpoint

There is a beautiful view to the north here. The wide track where the signposts are is part of the long-distance Tabular Hills Walk from just north of Scarborough to Helmsley.

Grain Slack Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A rather striking and very green gorge is to be found within North Riding Forest Park, Dalby Forest, on path Red 19. It winds down, like a serpent, with trees above you and lots of very green moss. Very beautiful.
