More correctly known as ‘Young’ Ralph’s Cross, this symbol of the North York Moors National Park – the least well known of the national parks in England – is surrounded by legend. Ralph is supposed to have been a guide to travellers or nuns. He either found someone dead here or died here himself. There is a place on top of the cross to leave money… but be careful about taking it: if you don’t need it local legend says you will die in the fog!

Ilkley Moor and Rombald’s Moor are noted for their Bronze Age rock markings. Most of these belong to the ‘cup and ring’ type. The swastika stone is exceptional, being identical to designs in Northern Italy and in Sweden, and is thought to be of a later date. However, what you see in the foreground is actually a Victorian copy – the original is a few feet away and rather less photogenic. Remember, don't go up 'baht'at'!
The boar on the helm under his head refers to the fact that he was knighted for saving King Edward from a wild boar. This monument was actually moved from the 'sunken church'.
