December 14, 2025, Danby Beacon

Danby Beacon is one of the highest points on the North York Moors, a historic signal station and landmark with sweeping views over the Esk Valley and surrounding moorland. It has been used for centuries as a warning beacon, a radar site in WWII. Plenty of off-road parking available, although it is quite rutted and very bumpy.

This is as good as tracks get on the Moors and is reminiscent of Rudland Rigg between Bransdale and Farndale. Good quality track with easy footing, gentle gradient and fabulous views all round.

I tend to hike/trail run early (sometimes starting around 5am), but I passed through Danby mid-morning on a Saturday and the smell coming from the bakery was heavenly. All the excuse you need for adding Danby to your route!
