Fantastic 360 degree views and a variety of routeing options. I can't comment on the track west to Wheeldale Lodge or the bridleway south along Simon Howe Rigg to Cropton Forest, but both the bridleway north to Goathland, and the track east to Fen Bog Nature Reserve and the A169 are good quality tracks over easy terrain. The track east to Fen Bog is still quite waterlogged and boggy in some places even in July, but it is quite easy to skirt around these over the heather.

This location was about 10 miles into this trail. It is a crossroads in Dalby Forest. You can rest the bikes against several fences & gates, then sit down on an elevated drain type seat. Good point to rehydrate and eat

A scheduled monument, Simon Howe is a large round cairn on Goathland Moor that offers great views of the North York Moors National Park.

At Simon Howe (260 m), you will see a cairn and a ring of stones, but what they used to be and for what purpose is apparently 'shrouded by the mist of time' as they used to phrase it in my favourite sci-fi series! In the summer, you will be surrounded by a sea of purple heather. There are some stones here on which it will be possible to rest your running feet for awhile.

A rather oddly located trig point, nonetheless it's worth noticing it as this is actually the highest point in Dalby Forest, at 248Β m! Ordnance Survey have these days stopped placing trig points, which is perhaps good, as this one is now obviously surrounded by forest.
