A ramble for users of mobility scooters - Walking with Wheels. A ramble through woodland then out onto the moor passing close to the amazing Roseberry Topping. Have your lunch by the pond at Airyhome Farm, birthplace of Captain Cook (ask permission first)

We begin by following the track-bed of the Guisborough Railway Branch Line but soon leave this to climb through the woods then exit onto Roseberry Common. Soon we reach the foot of the distinctive conical Roseberry Topping. After watching walkers clamber up to the summit, we continue to Aireyholme Farm for lunch by the pond. This was the childhood home of Captain Cook. Returning past Roseberry Topping we turn off our outward route to pass Bousdale Farm where a steep descent takes us back to the woods and the café by the car park.
