Blakey Topping (OS SE872938) is a wonderful 'picnic spot' hill north-east of Pickering, due east of the Hole of Horcum car park, south-east of Malo Cross and north-east of Newgate Foot farm (bottom left). It stands out from many vantage points e.g. from Malo Cross (top left picture). To the south of it are some prehistoric standing stones (above and right). There are several footpaths for great walking in the area. See Also North York Moors scenes * Scenes around Pickering * Scenes around Whitby * North of England-selected views *
