The Squeeze: Roseberry Topping’s Disappearing Footpath
Climbing Roseberry Topping ought to be one of the simple joys in life. Not on this stretch. Here it is a “stinging” ordeal, and no mistake.
A modern post-and-wire fence runs alongside a maturing line of hedge saplings, squeezed in next to the old boundary. They were planted a few years b ...http://www.fhithich.uk/2026/07/18/the-squeeze-roseberry-toppings-disappearing-footpath/

Phase 2 of Roseberry’s Facelift Begins
Last week, the powers that be helicoptered huge black bags of stone and gravel onto the south flank of Roseberry Topping, ready for this year’s phase of its major path upgrading. I have been anxious to see the progress.
To the left of the leftmost foxglove, the bridleway, after climbing up from the Folly field, cont ...

🚨 Breaking News 🚨: 340 local news outlets bravely decide that hoarding their journalistic gems behind virtual velvet ropes is the best defense against the Internet Archive. 🏰 Because, clearly, the way to serve the public interest is to make sure nobody can access your content. 🤡

Coast to Coast Opens — But Not For All
The Coast to Coast is now an official National Trail. Years of effort, a considerable sum of public money, and another grand ceremony. But one writer greets the opening carrying not a celebratory banner but a rather pointed question: Who, exactly, is it for?
Charlotte Ditchburn is happy to acknowledge that these ...http://www.fhithich.uk/2026/04/10/coast-to-coast-opens-but-not-for-all/

A Pithy Guide to the King Charles III Coast Path
At Marske Sands, a wooden fingerpost points towards Redcar and its turning turbines, as if pointing out the obvious. The King Charles III Coast Path belongs to a 2,700 mile plan to walk round the island, or near enough. It is the sort of stroll that rewards enthusiasm with blisters. You walk north ...

Access Without Respect
A pack of a dozen mountain bikers bursts down the newly rebuilt, stone-stepped path on Roseberry Topping. Several are motor-assisted. Gravity does the rest. Gravel skitters, walkers flinch, gates are left yawning behind them. For a few loud seconds the hill is theirs, claimed by speed and noise. It looks impressive, in the way a juggern ...

The Conservation Walk That Has Vanished
It seems fitting to be posting this at the end of January 2026, a month that quietly marked a profound centenary. One hundred years ago, Section 193 of the Law of Property Act 1925 gave the public a legal right to access around a third of the common land in England and Wales. For the first time, the law recognised a simple ...

A Path Marked Clearly, Only it Points Left
About twenty minutes today went on scrubbing the graffiti off the rock faces, as I posted yesterday. Fortunately, it was water-based. They are not perfect, their shadow still lingers if you squint. Still, it is a sight better than the mess that was there before. Progress, slow and steady, like pushing treacle uphill.

A Quarter Century of the Right to Roam, More or Less

Freedom to Roam: Lessons from Sweden
Back home on my own patch, though I still feel justified in milking our recent sojourn in Sweden for another post.
In 1706 Kräkmyren was dammed to divert its water to the Falun Mine. Sweden was then at war with Russia, and Russian prisoners of war are said to have built the earthbank. Over the centuries it filled with silt, and what began a ...http://www.fhithich.uk/2025/09/27/freedom-to-roam-lessons-from-sweden/

The Pike Stone: From Waste to Common Land
The Pike Stone marks the boundary between the common land of Westerdale and the “wasteland” of Baysdale Moor. At first glance there is little difference: both are heather moor, both are Open Access. Yet the distinction matters, and the Open Spaces Society is seeking to have Baysdale Moor r ...

Following the Green Dots: An Unclassified Road to Nowhere
Now that the summer’s undergrowth is finally abating, I thought it an opportune moment to exercise a rarely-trod right of way past Ayton Banks Farm. One likes to ensure that these landowners are periodically reminded of the existence of such rights, lest they grow complacent.
According to the 1:25,000 O.S. Map, the route is ...

The Forgotten Rebellion: Winter Hill’s Mass Trespass of 1896
Another delightfully dreich day on the North York Moors. In the murk, we stumbled upon two workers labouring away on the new footpath up Roseberry. The path, prepared to its subsoil, resembles some sort of glutinous purgatory, offering a walking experience only slightly less pleasurable than a swim in wet cement. The workers mentioned the a ...

90 Metres of Progress: The Curious Case of a New Bridleway
It is a curious thing, is it not, that the powers-that-be, in their infinite wisdom, believed they could neatly parcel up the English countryside like so many slices of cake, each path and bridleway served with a side of bureaucracy. Under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949, a grand endeavou ...

<— To Highcliffe Nab <—
It struck me as a bit peculiar that explicit directions to Highcliffe Nab were considered necessary. One might conclude that folks have frequently found themselves inadvertently ending up at the nearby farm. However, upon closer observation, the reason became apparent: the gate stands firmly padlocked. Despite its designation as a Public Footpath, no stile offers passage. One ...

Patches of blue, reflections and a spanking new gate—Highcliff Gate this morning
In her dotage, my dog exhibits a distinct lack of enthusiasm for upland walks. This now renders the crudely painted "DOGS ON LEADS" sign on the wooden rail of no matter to me. A threat for sure, yet not a command. A "PLEASE", though, would have aided in conveying the message in a less intimidating manner.

“Gerroff Moy Land!” and don’t even look at it
On this rather dreich morning, I found myself compelled to focus my photographic endeavours closer to home.
When I first moved into the village, the scene before me would have been an open field stretching toward a gate nestled in the distant hedge. However, as time has gone by, the path has become enclosed by fences on either side. The left side saw pa ... -

Ernaldsti, never a RUPP
Ernaldsti, that medieval track associated with the Percy family crossing Hutton Moor, down Percy Rigg and over to Ralph Cross, via Westerdale. I suspect that the true line of this historical route over the moor lies concealed within the hollow-way, just a stone's throw to the right of the modern track, and to the left of that spruce sapling.

Defending access rights - we have a right to swim in Scotland - parkswatchscotland
The #RighttoRoam campaign has taken a far broader approach to #AccessRights than has traditionally been the case in #England and has been building a broad campaign for a new legal right of #access on the #Scottish model.

An earlyish wander around Scarth Wood Moor
Overcast with a patch of heavy drizzle.
This is the famous Sheepwash. Where the Hambleton Drove Road fords Crabtree Beck. A popular honeypot in the post-war car boom, but that was before the Cod Beck Reservoir was built.
The grassy footpath opposite is not shown on the O.S. map as a Right of Way, but I am pleased to see that an Application for a D ...
