Roseberry Topping to The Captain Cook Monument Walk
'Despite several steep inclines this route is relatively easy with most of it taking place on well maintained paths and lanes ... This route is good for any time of year because of the excellently maintained pathways.'
'The route starts from a forestry commission car park on Dikes Lane outside of Great Ayton. The route follows the Cleveland Way to Roseberry Topping, crosses Newton Moor into Lonsdale Slack Wood and passes The Captain Cook Monument.' Great Ayton 'was the boyhood home of Captain Cook, the British explorer and navigator, who was born in nearby Marton ... The monument is a 51 ft (16 m) high obelisk located on Easby Moor and visible for miles around. It was constructed from local sandstone and was erected in 1827'. [Wikipedia 16 January 2014]
