Roseberry Topping

Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill in northern Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in Switzerland.〔Howard Peach, ''Curious Tales of Old North Yorkshire'', p. 39 (Sigma Leisure, 2004)〕 It forms a symbolic image of the area and featured as the logo for the now defunct county of Cleveland.
At , Roseberry Topping was traditionally thought to be the highest hill on the North York Moors;〔See e.g. J.J. Sheahan and T. Whellan, ''(History and Topography of the City of York; the Ainsty Wapentake; and the East Riding of Yorkshire )'', p. 10. 1855.〕 however, the nearby Urra Moor is higher, at . It offers views of Captain Cook's Monument at Easby Moor and the monument at Eston Nab.
==Geology==
The hill is an outlier of the North York Moors uplands. It is formed from sandstone laid down in the Middle and Lower Jurassic periods, between 208 and 165 million years ago, which constitutes the youngest sandstone to be found in any of the National Parks in England and Wales. Its distinctive conical shape is the result of the hill's hard sandstone cap protecting the underlying shales and clays from erosion by the effects of ice, wind and rain.
Until 1912, the summit resembled a sugarloaf until a geological fault and possibly nearby alum and ironstone mining caused its collapse.〔 The area immediately below the summit is still extensively pitted and scarred from the former mineworks. The summit has magnificent views across the Cleveland plain as far as the Pennines on a clear day, some 40 to 50 miles (60 to 80 km) away.
