Ana Cross

Highlight • Monument

Ana Cross marks the spot of a prehistoric burial mound, a funerary monument from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age. It’s topped by a modern replacement of a medieval wayside cross, which marks an old moorland crossing. You get lovely views over the moors from this spot. When the heather blooms purple in summer it is especially photogenic.

Rosedale Abbey Village Green

Highlight • Settlement

Rosedale Abbey is a must to stop at. It is a village right in the centre of North York Moors National Park: descent into it from just about any direction is always spectacular, whether via Spaunton Moor (south) or Rosedale Moor (north), the views just do not stop giving.

The village is picturesque in itself, particularly the village green. There used to be a Cistercian Priory here, originally established here in 1158. Little remains nowadays, except for a staircase turret, a sundial and a single stone pillar. More recently, in the 19th century, the iron ore industry thrived here, but that came to an end in the 1920s.

If you like super-steep ascents, you would probably like to go up the Rosedale Chimney Bank road, south of the village, but be warned: it is actually notorious for how steep that is!

The Crown Inn

Highlight • Pub

Whether starting your ride or finishing it here, this is a great place to stop. There is a great café here, which serves great food, and a general store - two in one - so you will be sorted for energy for your ride before starting out or re-energise your weary muscles at the end of it. There is a lovely green outside, too - an all-rounder, really!
