Mend Our Mountains: North York Moors

Roseberry Topping Path Restorations

The iconic, mini-Matterhorn-shaped Roseberry Topping is a much-loved, local landmark. As such, the 320m peak sees plenty of footfall and suffers from significant path erosion. Mend Our Mountains, along with other partners, will help to fund the restoration of 10 areas of unsafe, eroded footpath in dire need of repair around and towards the summit.

Erosion scars are now nearly 15m wide in places, near to the top of the hill, causing damage to important upland grass habitats and scarring this beautiful landscape. The path restoration work will help to accommodate an increasing number of visitors and improve access with a better surface, and also repair environmental and ecological damage.

Roseberry Topping: the 10 paths to be repaired

  • Newton Woods to Summit
  • Summer House Fields Summit
  • Cleveland Way to Summer House Fields
  • Newton Wood Bridleway
  • Newton Wood East (two paths here)
  • Roseberry Topping Bridleway
  • Cliff Ridge Woods, Lower Path
  • Little Roseberry Desire Lines
  • New Bridleway
Ten paths on Roseberry Topping will be repaired
