Guisborough Forest
 

An attractive and diverse woodland mostly planted in the 1950's on the site of disused extensive mineworkings. Rocky outcrops at Highcliff Nab and Hanging Stone provide views over Teesside and the Eston Hills. It is a perfect place to walk, ride or cycle with access up on the moors and beyond.

How to get there:
