From miles around Roseberry Topping looms high on the horizon
Distinctive and iconic landmark with fine views across North Yorkshire and Cleveland
At just 1,049 feet (320 m) high, Roseberry Topping may not be the biggest hill you'll ever see, but it will certainly be one of the most distinctive. Its shape, caused by the combination of a geological fault and a mining collapse in 1912 has made the hill the most beloved landmark in the Tees Valley area. With its half-cone summit and jagged cliff, some say it reminds them of the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
While many visitors come to conquer the hill, there's plenty more to do besides with a fantastic array of habitats to discover. Explore bluebell woods, heather moorland, the open expanses of Roseberry Common and a long abandoned quarry.
Don't miss
- Amazing panoramic views from the summit of the hill
- Spot fantastic wildlife in the woods
- Take a walk to Newton Moor to enjoy swathes of purple heather in the summer and admire Roseberry Topping from a distance
- Uncover Roseberry's industrial past and explore its geology in Cliff Rigg Quarry
- Visit in spring for the best displays of bluebells for miles around

- Join us for a very high tea. The Summer House Tea Room will be serving drinks and cake between 11am and 4pm.
- Our Wallace and Gromit cinema will be screening a brand new exclusive animation featuring the much loved duo, as well as their classic films.
- There will be plenty of fun and games to take part in. You can make your own bunting, decorate a crown or do a quiz. We’ll have loads of garden games too.
All of this will take part in a unique location half way up Roseberry Topping. The summer house field will be sign posted from the car park in Newton under Roseberry, so don’t worry if you’ve not been before.
