Urra Moor
Urra Moor is the highest moor in the
North York Moors, a
national park in
North Yorkshire,
England. The name applies to the
moor as a whole; the summit itself is known as
Round Hill.
The summit is crowned by a
trig point, and a track passes about 100 metres to the south of this point. This track forms part of the route of both the
Lyke Wake Walk and the
Cleveland Way, and also forms the most commonly used route of ascent for Urra Moor. It is only 3
km from the car park at Clay Bank to the summit via this route; total ascent is just under 200 m.
Urra Moor is noted for its
prehistoric remains. There are a number of
barrows, and several carved rocks, including some
cup and ring carvings. Probably the most striking relic is the
Face Stone, a carved stone about one metre in height into which has been carved the shape of a
face.
