Cleveland Hills, Protected hills in North Yorkshire, England
Description
The Cleveland Hills are a range of heights in North Yorkshire rising to 454 meters at their peak. The landscape consists of shale ridges with steep cliffs and deep valleys that form part of the North York Moors National Park.
History
The area remained largely rural until the 19th century when iron ore mining operations transformed the landscape. The mining period left a lasting mark on the region before the industry eventually declined.
Culture
The hills show signs of ancient settlement through burial mounds and stone circles scattered across the slopes. These places remind visitors of communities that lived here thousands of years ago.
Practical
A network of marked trails connects different points of interest across the landscape, with the 177-kilometer Cleveland Way as the main long-distance route. The trails vary in difficulty, allowing visitors to choose walks that suit their fitness level and time available.

A television mast situated on the hills broadcasts digital signals across North Yorkshire from a high vantage point. The structure stands as a notable landmark and has been essential for regional broadcasting coverage.
