The Cleveland Hills mark the north-western boundary of the North York Moors National Park.
This spectacular range of hills rises dramatically from the vast Cleveland Plain to create an imposing natural boundary.
They incorporate some of the highest hills in the North York Moors, rising to 1490 feet (454m) at Round Hill on Urra Moor, the highest point in the National Park. The Cleveland Hills also embrace the distinctive cone-shaped peak of Roseberry Topping, Yorkshire’s most famous hill, which may be small in stature, but it has been dubbed the ‘Yorkshire Matterhorn’. Alan Hinkes, the first British mountaineer to climb all fourteen of the world’s highest peaks, says it’s his favourite hill – and he knows a thing or two about impressive peaks!
