Osmotherley
Stone village at the western edge where two famous walks begin
Osmotherley stands on the western escarpment where the Cleveland Hills drop to the Vale of Mowbray. It is a walkers' village: the Cleveland Way passes through, the Lyke Wake Walk traditionally starts nearby and the Coast to Coast crosses just to the north.
Cod Beck Reservoir is a short walk away, and Mount Grace Priory, the best-preserved Carthusian monastery in England, is just down the hill.
