This is a very fast and rocky decent. Please be careful, also there is a gate part of the way down. Enjoy.

Just off the Cleveland Way and about halfway between Carr Ridge to the west and Bloworth Crossing to the east, spectacular views all around on a clear day.

A great place to park and head out on to the moors. Parking is free and rarely busy with public toilets on site its a perfect spot to begin your exploration of the local area.

If you want to see Captain Cook’s Monument find a more direct route. This route took you up, across and down into Kildale village. I assume it then progressed upwards again but we gave it up at that point and walked back to the car. Disappointing.

Distance 0.9 miles (from the warning sign at the bottom to the sign at the top). Max Gradient 33%. The bottom part of the climb is gentler but soon it ramps up towards the first, right hand, hairpin; you are then faced almost immediately with a left hand hairpin, the next bit of the climb goes straight up like a wall and is the steepest section - then the climb eases off for the last section.
