Cawthorne Camp (sometimes spelled "Cawthorn") is a Roman site in north-east England, about 4 miles (6 km) north of Pickering, North Yorkshire. The well-preserved earthworks outline two forts, one with an extension, and a temporary camp built to an unusual plan. The earthworks date from the late 1st/early 2nd century AD. It has been suggested that they were built for practice rather than for actual military use.Archaeological investigation has also found indications of pre-Roman activity at the site, and also traces of later sunken dwellings (Grubenhäuser). A late Iron Age chariot burial was discovered at the site in 1905 by J. R. Mortimer and at least one other square barrow is known from the site.The site was acquired by the North York Moors National Park in 1983.

Wade's Causeway is a sinuous, linear structure of human construction located in the North York Moors national park in North Yorkshire, England. Its origins, age, purpose and extent are subject to ongoing research and debate and have not been reliably established: it was excavated in mid-20th century and dated to the Roman period, but 21st century re-interpretations have suggested a possible Neolithic origin. The name may be used to refer specifically to scheduled ancient monument number 1004876, a length of stone course just over 1 mile (1.6 km) long on Wheeldale Moor. It may be also be applied more broadly to include an additional postulated extension of this structure, incorporating ancient monuments numbers 1004108 and 1004104 which extend to the north and south of Wheeldale for up to 25 miles (40 km). The visible course on Wheeldale Moor consists of an embankment of soil, peat, gravel and loose pebbles 0.7 metres (2.3 ft) in height and 4 to 7 metres (13 to 23 ft) in width. The gently cambered embankment is capped with un-mortared and loosely abutted flagstones. Its original form is uncertain since it has been subjected to weathering and human damage. The structure has been the subject of folklore in the surrounding area for several hundred years and possibly for more than a millennium. Its construction was commonly attributed to a giant known as Wade, a figure from Germanic mythology. In the 1720s, the causeway was mentioned in a published text and as a result became more widely known outside the local area for the first time. Within a few years, it became of interest to antiquarians, who visited the site and exchanged commentary on its probable historicity. They interpreted the structure as a causeway across marshy ground, attributing its construction to the Roman military, an explanation that remained largely unchallenged throughout the remainder of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The stretch of the causeway on Wheeldale Moor was cleared of vegetation and excavated in the early twentieth century by a local gamekeeper interested in archaeology. The historian Ivan Margary agreed with its identification as a Roman road and assigned it the catalogue number 81b in the first edition of his Roman Roads In Britain (1957). The causeway was further excavated and studied by the archaeologist Raymond Hayes in the 1950s and 1960s, partly funded by the Council for British Archaeology. His investigation concluded that the structure was a Roman road and the resulting report was published in 1964 by the Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society. In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, its identification as a Roman road has been questioned by academics, and alternative interpretations suggested for its purpose and date of construction, including its possible origin as a neolithic structure up to 6,000 years old. The monument's co-manager, English Heritage, in 2012, proposed several avenues of research that might be used to settle some of the questions that have arisen regarding its origins and usage.

The Tabular Hills form an east–west line along the southern bounds of the North York Moors, between Scarborough in the east and Black Hambleton in the west. The name refers to their flat summits composed of hard Corallian limestone, known locally as "nabs". They form the northern boundary of the Vale of Pickering.

Blue Man-i'-th'-Moss is a standing stone in the North York Moors in northern England. It lies on Wheeldale Moor on the route of the Lyke Wake Walk.It is a parish boundary stone, but is believed to have been standing since pre-Roman times. It is 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall and has small boulders and stones set in the ground around its base. The stone is considerably weathered.Traces of blue paint which once covered the stone can be seen in places. There is a letter 'E' with a date 1841 engraved on the south face. A memorial plaque was cemented at the base of the stone on the south side in 2003 but was subsequently removed in 2016.

Randy Mere Reservoir (also known as Randymere Reservoir), is a freshwater reservoir owned and operated by Yorkshire Water, near Beck Hole, in North Yorkshire, England. The reservoir was built in the 1880s by Whitby Water Company and holds about 62,000 cubic metres (2,200,000 cu ft) of water. The reservoir is built on an overflow channel for the proglacial Lake Eskdale, and before being converted into a reservoir, the area was a tarn and a marsh that was used as a commercial leech fishery.

Mallyan Spout is a waterfall in North Yorkshire, England, the tallest waterfall in the North York Moors.

The Mallyan Spout Hotel is a historic hotel in Goathland, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The hotel was designed by James Demaine and Walter Brierley and was completed in 1892. Between 1932 and 1935, part of the building was demolished and rebuilt, and the hotel was extended. Patrick Nuttgens states that "the interior has been altered here and there but the whole of the front block is unmistakeable Brierley, very comfortable, solid and warm". In 2022, the building suffered some damage in a fire, which started in its laundry room. It has been grade II listed since 1989. It is in sandstone, the extension is in red brick fronted in sandstone, and it has overhanging bracketed eaves, and tile roofs with coped gables and raised kneelers. There are two storeys and four bays, with attics over the middle two bays. The porch has an elliptical-arched doorway with a chamfered surround, spandrels with a monogram and the date, and a hood mould. The windows are mullioned, to the left is a two-storey canted bay window with a cornice, the ground floor windows with transomed, and in the attic are gabled half-dormers. The extensions have similar features.

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Goathland, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A hermitage chapel was built in Goathland in the 11th or 12th century, and a second St Mary's chapel was recorded in 1568. It was demolished in the early 19th century, and a new church was completed in 1820, although it was described in the Victoria County History as "a poor structure". Between 1894 and 1896, the current church was built, to a design by Walter Brierley. It is in the Perpendicular Gothic style, with influence from the arts and crafts movement. The church was grade II* listed in 1969, along with its steps and handrail. The church is built of sandstone with a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave, a south porch, a choir, a south organ chamber and a vestry under a central tower, and a chancel. The tower has three stages, angle buttresses, and a southwest stair turret. On the south front is a doorway with a pointed arch and a three-light square-headed window, and on the north front is a three-light round-headed window with a hood mould. The bell openings have one or two lights, on the north and south fronts are clock faces, and at the top is a plain parapet with moulded coping, and a weathervane. The porch is approached by steps with a wrought iron handrail. Inside, there is a bowl font dating from around 1100, brought from a demolished church in Egton. It has an elaborate timber cover, constructed in 1903. There is a 12th-century altar slab, probably from the hermitage chapel, and a grave slab dating from 1695. The pulpit is 17th century, while the choir fittings are by Brierely, and other fittings including the altar and reredos are by Robert Thompson. The stained glass in the east and south windows is from the early 20th century, while the west windows have stained glass inserted to celebrate the Millennium.
