Hambleton Hills
The Hambleton Hills are a range of hills in Yorkshire in north east England. The limestone formations form the southwest boundary of the North York Moors to the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray . In contrast to the main part of the Moors plateau, which consists of sandstone , the Hambleton Hills are characterized by numerous steep slopes and dramatic cliffs. Compared to the plains of Vale of York and Vale of Mowbray, the stone verticals, several hundred meters high, seem impregnable; from vantage points like Sutton Bank you can see up to 50 kilometers into the distance.
The National Trail Cleveland Way runs along the cliff edges here. The most famous of these is Sutton Bank . Separated by the Ryedale , the Hambleton Hills continue north into the Tabular Hills . In this direction the slopes are much flatter. The highest point of the hills is Black Hambleton with a height of almost 400 meters.
