There is a wonderful walk for the novice or accomplished walker around Rosedale. It is unique in the fact that it was once the scene of a flourishing mining industry in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Because of the good quality ironstone, nearly 20 miles of standard gauge (4' 8½"), railway was built to transport the iron ore. Blakey Top

The 8 miles of track bed around the natural contours of the upper Rosedale Valley makes this a very interesting and unique walk, with spectacular views in all weathers.
As you pass along this moor land valley track, there are many relics of the industrial past, & great works of engineering, involving inclines, deep cuttings, and huge embankments. The views from this old track are second to none. (Don't forget your camera).
At August Guest House you can find all the information needed to have a fantastic walking holiday and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of our beautiful “North York Moors” the least visited national park, with lots to see and discover.
