Langbaurgh Ridge

Cleveland is a land of hills and dales from the River Tees to Vale of Pickering, England. The name means “cliff-land”. The area corresponds to the former Langbaurgh Wapentake. The North York Moors national park, established in 1952, covers part of it. A non-metropolitan county under the same name existed from 1974 to 1996 and there is ambiguity today between that county and the historic extent of the name.

It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

Roseberry Parkway railway station (also known as Nunthorpe Parkway) is a proposed railway station which would be between Nunthorpe and Great Ayton railway stations on the Esk Valley Line, in North Yorkshire, England. The station was proposed in August 2019 by a joint project between Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough Councils and the Tees Valley Combined Authority. The project is "aimed at easing road congestion and improving access to East Cleveland".A parkway station near Nunthorpe has been proposed since at least 2009 when funds were made available by the UK Government for studies into improving transport links in the East Cleveland area. The station was listed as Nunthorpe Parkway in the Tees Valley Metro Project documentation of 2010, though this maintained that any future station would be constructed after 2014. Roseberry Parkway station would serve an estimated population of 70,000 people and seek to encourage 30,000 car journeys away from the Marton Crawl, a name applied to the gridlock along the A-roads (A172 and A171) leading northwards into Middlesbrough.Although an exact site is not yet proposed, it is suggested that the station is situated in the shadow of Roseberry Topping and would be a transport hub connecting pedestrians, bikes, cars and buses with trains. Trains to Middlesbrough would run half-hourly, with the prospect of trains to Whitby being doubled. Local opinion on the proposals was mixed, with some suggesting a revamp of the station at Teesside Airport as a preferred option for a rail and bus interchange.

Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill in North 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 the Swiss-Italian Alps. It forms a symbolic image of the area and features in the logo for the nearby Teesside International Airport.At 1,049 feet (320 m), Roseberry Topping was traditionally thought to be the highest hill on the North York Moors; however, there are 15 higher peaks with the nearby Urra Moor being the highest, at 1,490 feet (450 m). Roseberry Topping offers views of Captain Cook's Monument at Easby Moor and the monument at Eston Nab, previously a beacon.

Roseberry Mine was an ironstone mine in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, which operated between 1883 and 1924, with a break of 24 years. Both periods of mining used a form of tramway to transport the ironstone out, which connected with the railway line north of Great Ayton railway station. The mine was located on the south side of Roseberry Topping digging into the hillside. Of the three ironstone mines in the Great Ayton area, Roseberry was the largest. In 1912, the northern slope of Roseberry Topping collapsed and slipped down the hill which has left it with a distinctive shape (it was conically shaped before the landslide). Originally, the ironstone mining was blamed, but modern investigations had concluded that extreme weather events were the cause.
