Ralph's Cross, North York Moors

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!
