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 Project Updates
Our Projects
Learn more about the invaluable work we are supporting across England and Wales. The BMC has raised over £1.4 million so far for the Mend Our Mountains Project. That's 50 miles of fragile footpath restored for future generations. 544 miles of upland repaired - the equivalent to over 67,000 double decker buses so far!
Get Stuck In! Volunteer Days
'Get Stuck In!' volunteer events are a key part of repairing our footpaths, funded by Mend Our Mountains.
Here, you have an opportunity to get out on the hillside, learn new skills and meet like-minded people whilst making a real difference to our wild places. Take a look at the upcoming dates and get stuck in!
