Scenes of Cleveland,

There is lots of good walking up through Guisborough Woods and up on to the wild open moorland.

Here you are looking down on Guisborough as you walk up through the woods to join the Cleveland Way.

Highcliff Nab and Hanging Stone are two popular walking destinations in Guisborough Woods, a beautiful woodland area located in Cleveland, England. The walks offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape and a chance to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of nature.

Highcliff Nab is a prominent hill that rises to a height of 290 metres above sea level. The walk to the top is quite steep, but the views from the summit are worth the effort. On a clear day, you can see the North Sea, the Cleveland Hills, and even the Pennines in the distance.

Hanging Stone is a large boulder that is suspended between two smaller rocks. The stone is said to weigh around 15-tonnes, and it is believed to have been deposited there by a glacier during the last Ice Age. The walk to Hanging Stone is less strenuous than the Highcliff Nab walk but still offers some beautiful views of the woodland.

Both walks are well signposted, and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables along the way. The woodland is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, and a wide variety of birds.

Overall, the walks to Highcliff Nab and Hanging Stone are perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
