Cold Moor is a long, broad ridge running from north to south in the Cleveland Hills, at the northwestern edge of the North York Moors. The approach from Chop Gate - ensuring that at least half your day can be spent debating whether it's pronounced Chop Gate or Chop Yat - gives a long, gentle ascent, at first along a green lane, then on to open moorland. Industrial Teesside and its more green and pleasant surroundings can be seen from the summit. The path shared by the Cleveland Way, Coast to Coast and Lyke Wake Walk is then followed, via the sandstone pinnacles of the Wainstones, to Urra Moor and the highest point in the Moors - Round Hill. Heather-covered ancient burial mounds, or tumuli, can be seen beside the path in several places, and you can expect to see one or two red grouse.
