Hiking

Great views of Hambleton Hills from up here, but even greater is the fact that, if you find yourself here on a clear day, you could - by looking to the west over the Vale of Mowbray - get to see the summit of Great Whernside (in Yorkshire Dales) some 35 miles away!

The trig point at 400m on Black Hambleton at the northern end of the Hambleton Hills. It's on the Cleveland Way national trail and in the North York Moors national park but it never feels very busy.

The Cleveland Way and Black Hambleton Loop offers a diverse hiking experience through open moorland, dense forests, and working farmland. As you hike this moderate 10.3-mile (16.6 km) route, you'll gain about 1300 feet (396 metres) in elevation, which typically takes around 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete. You can expect impressive views across the Vales of York and Mowbray, with the picturesque Upper Oakdale Reservoir nestled among forested slopes providing a tranquil focal point. The path varies from broad tracks to narrower sections winding through heather, making for an engaging journey.

Finding parking at the trailhead for this loop is usually straightforward, making it easy to start your adventure. While the route is generally well-marked, carrying a map is a good idea, especially when passing through farmland sections, to help you stay on track. Be prepared for potentially muddy and waterlogged conditions, particularly after rainfall, so waterproof footwear is highly recommended. Starting earlier in the day will give you ample time to enjoy the scenery without rushing.

This hike is set within the beautiful North York Moors National Park, known for its expansive and varied landscapes. The trail highlights the dramatic White Gill Head along Hambleton Street, showcasing the natural ruggedness of the area. On clear days, you might even spot Great Whernside in the distant Yorkshire Dales, adding another layer to the already impressive vistas. It's a great way to experience the unique character of this national park.
