Not many visitors climbing Roseberry today. There will be plenty of car parking down in Newton. On popular days parking is becoming very difficult. Folk are reluctant to use the National Park run carpark because of the cost preferring instead to park on the verges. There are proposals to introduce double yellow lines and an extension to the car park. Meanwhile, on the village green, the Kings Head will be serving refreshments just as it did for Walter White in 1858 during his “Month in Yorkshire” after his two-hour loiter on the summit reflecting on the distant smoke from the industries and smelting furnaces of Middlesbrough.
