Beautiful and scenic with a lot of smiling faces and happy paws.
Very beautiful place, lots of blackberries to pick, if lucky then can catch sight of seals (a photo). People throw rubbish here and there as seen in pictures uploaded. I urge people to take thir garbage with them and don't litter the place. I collected some rubbish on top of hills especially.
A lovely walk up to the hill you can see Roseberry Topping and the Cleveland Hills, surrounded by beautiful scenery, no wonder its known as God's country up on the moors, just wonderful
Lovely place for a wander, and beautiful views from the top of the hill. Which can be accessed either by a steep straight path or a more gentle spiral one. Only spoilt by bits of litter here and there.
Amazing views all the way to Roseberry Topping from the tops of the hills, and it's good for a walk with family or friends, appreciating the nature.
