Cammon Stone

Highlight • Monument

Many believe that the Cammon Stone is one of the oldest standing in the Moors. It probably dates to before the end of the Bronze Age. You will find on the word 'Hallelujah' in Hebrew; potentially by an Ingleby vicar in the 19th century.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The scenery is nice in this area. You can see for miles in many parts. This is a slightly elevated area, the wind is far more stronger as it is an exposed area

Highlight • Natural Monument

Chunky gravel track. Gravel bike handled it well. Be careful as it quickly gets foggy in bad weather. Bleakey Lion is an excellent nearby pub!

Sheriff's Pit

Highlight • Structure

Sheriff’s Pit is the remains of an old ironstone mine. It originally opened as a drift mine in 1857 (where a horizontal shaft is driven into the seam) and was manned by just two families in all conditions with a horse and cart. It closed two years later but reopened when the Rosedale Railway opened in the 1860s and a deep vertical shaft was excavated. The mine was named after Alexander Clune Sheriff, of the Rosedale Mining Company.

After the mine closed in 1911 nature began to reclaim the site. Birds like ring ouzel have a long association with the mine and rowan trees have been planted nearby to provide them with berries to eat before their long journey back to South Africa.

Bank Top Iron Kilns

Highlight • Historical Site

The ironstone-rich landscape around Rosedale was totally transformed in Victorian times as demand for iron grew. So valuable was Rosedale Ironstone that 19th-century mine owners made every effort to extract it, even in remote areas.

Bank Top was where all the ironstone came for processing and transport. There would have been a railway, processing works, houses, plus more at this spot in the mid-19th century. Today, the crumbling kilns, chimneys and other ruins here are testament to a bygone industry. You get some breathtaking views at Bank Top, too.

April 23, 2024,North Yorkshire Moors 2. Farndale Railway loop from Sinnington. Bad cramp

This trail was not easy. There is constant climbing from 13 to 21 miles into strong headwinds on the west side. It is exposed to windy conditions. I started to get cramp at about 20 miles, this was in several muscles, in both legs. Still needed to ride 23.8 miles.
Surfaces are erratic, rocky downhill sections where you can not …
