Sheriff's Pit and Ana Cross

Six and three quarter miles with 210 metres of climbing, about three hours, taking the ironstone workings on the west side of Rosedale and then striking south over Spaunton Moor to the stone shaft of Ana Cross. The start is the village car park at Rosedale Abbey; note that the ascent of Chimney Bank out of the village is one in three, so walkers with dogs in the car should approach from Hutton-le-Hole in winter. The old mine tracks give a long safe off-lead stretch, but Sheriff's Pit is an open shaft that is fenced only loosely, sheep range the whole moor, and leads are required on the open moor from 1 March to 31 July.
