Firstly, the route I took doesnit quite cover the three peaks as Roseberry Topping was very busy so I just looked at it from afar. For a wrietup on another route near Roseberry Topping see this page.
This is the route I took, a clockwise loop, starting from a parking spot here on a side road just off the A171.
The Cleveland Way.
Uphill and then level along the hilltop.
The view over to Redcar.
And Errington Hill.
The first view of Highcliff Nab, the first peak.
The view form the top of the nab.
The next part of the route in the disatnce, past a farm on the moorside of the wall and onto the forest to the right.
The forest in more detail. This pic also shows the track we'll be taking back in the bottom right of the pic.
Guisborough.
The cliff itself.
Through some woods.
Last time I was in this area on the Roseberry Topping Loop it was a slow worm, now it's Adders!
Looking back at where we'd come from, showing the cliff, farm and stone path running parallel to the drystone wall.
First view of the second peak, Roseberry Topping "peak"ing over the horizon.
Also a good view of the Lordstones peaks which have been covered on a few walks.
The closest I got to Rosey on this hike, it was very busy so not worth the trip.
Along another dirt path to the third peak...
Hanging Stone.
It's a little bit of a scramble to get down to.
But worth it for the views.
In the distance, Highcliff Nab and the farm, again.
Hanging Stone profile shot. SHowing the path to the left which is what you take to get to the next point.
Down into the woods.
To Blue Lake.
Uphill through the forest.
Forestry and stoney track.
Passing along the bottom of Highcliff.
Lots of track, mostly level. Tees Link.
Mine works.
Footpath through farmland.
Back onto the CLeveland Way and through the woods. Spot the Tiggy.
