Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill on the border between North Yorkshire and the borough of Redcar and Cleveland, England, of which it has long been a symbol. It is situated near Guisborough. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in Switzerland.
At 1,049 feet (320 m), Roseberry Topping was traditionally thought to be the highest hill on the North York Moors; however, the nearby Urra Moor is higher, at 1,490 feet (450 m).
One of the more interesting shots of this. Most I have seen just show the hill from some distance but I like the composition of this shot with the gate and fence
Cheers Eddie, most people tend to do that after some famous photographer did a shot from a distance for the National Trust. Like you I prefer this view.
Gorgeous shot with some beautiful colours David. I’ve not heard of this place before, is Roseberry Topping the real name of the hill? Great name if it is! :o)
That’s the name it’s always had as far as I know…just google it! Thanks for the comment.
