Carlton Bank, Mountain summit in Cleveland Hills, United Kingdom.
Description
Carlton Bank is a mountain summit in the Cleveland Hills that rises to 408 meters above sea level. It marks a clear dividing line between the open moorland plateau above and the cultivated farmland that spreads across the lower slopes below.
History
Carlton Bank formed through geological processes that created the Cleveland Hills ridge across North Yorkshire. The high ground served as an observation point during the Industrial Revolution to monitor mining and agricultural changes happening across the region.
Culture
Local communities gather at Carlton Bank during seasonal events, with traditional hill walking groups meeting regularly to explore the surrounding paths.
Practical
Several marked trails lead to the summit, with the nearest parking available at Lord Stones Country Park. The paths are accessible year-round, but proper footwear is important as the ground can become slippery after rain.
Did you know?
The rock formations here contain exposed marine deposits from the Jurassic period, making them visible to anyone walking across the summit. These geological layers tell the story of an ancient ocean that once covered this part of England.
