Did you know Roseberry Topping hasn't always looked like that? ⛰️

That famous half-cone shape — the one people compare to the Matterhorn, and not bad for North Yorkshire — isn't natural at all.

Back in 1912, a geological fault, likely made worse by centuries of alum and ironstone mining underneath, caused part of the original summit to collapse. What was left is the profile we all know now: the one you can pick out from miles away, the one that tells you you're nearly home.

So the most recognisable landmark on our skyline is, in a way, an accident — and a reminder of the mining history that shaped this whole area.

Some of the best places in Guisborough don't charge you a penny. 🌸

Right next to the ruins of Gisborough Priory, Priory Gardens is one of them — lawns, flower beds and quiet paths, open year-round and free to walk into. Ten minutes in there and the rest of the day slows down a bit.

It's the sort of place people walk past for years without going in. But if you've ever sat on a bench there with a coffee, or taken the long way home through it on a warm evening, you'll know exactly what we mean.

Have you been? What do you love about it — and have you got a favourite spot in there? Tell us below 👇

Where do you go in Guisborough for the best curry?

Sit-in or takeaway, we're not fussy. Maybe you've been ordering the same thing for years and see no reason to stop. Maybe you're a "try something different every time" sort. Maybe the real answer is that it's all about the naan.

Tell us your go-to place and your usual order in the comments — someone reading is deciding what to have for tea tonight. 👇

🧽 It's Tag a Trade Tuesday!

This week it's the cleaners — domestic, commercial and specialist. Whether it's someone who gives your house a proper going-over once a fortnight, the team who keep a local business looking sharp, or a specialist who tackles the jobs the rest of us won't go near, a good cleaner is worth their weight in gold.

And let's be honest: coming home to a clean house you didn't have to clean yourself is one of life's genuine pleasures.

So who do you call? Tag your favourite Guisborough cleaner in the comments and help your neighbours find someone brilliant. 👇

See you next Tuesday for the next trade!

Happy Bank Holiday Monday, Guisborough! ☀️ Here's a bit of local trivia for you.

Did you know actor Mark Benton — a face you'll know instantly from your telly screen — was born and raised right here in Guisborough?

Next time he turns up in something you're watching, you can tell whoever's on the sofa with you that he's one of ours. 📺

What else do you know about him? And who else should we be claiming as a Guisborough export? Let us know below 👇

Guisborough's independents are the best thing about this town. 🛒️

The shops where someone knows your name. Where you can ask a question and get a proper answer. Where what's on the shelf was chosen by a person, not an algorithm in a warehouse somewhere.

Whatever kind of shop it is — food, gifts, clothes, hardware, something wonderfully niche — we want to hear about it.

Tag your favourite Guisborough independent in the comments and give them a well-earned shout-out. 👇

Right, this one's serious. 🐟🍟

Where do you go in Guisborough for the best fish and chips?

We all know the rules: the fish has to be properly crisp, the chips can't be limp, and there's a right amount of vinegar (which everyone disagrees about). Some of you have been going to the same place for twenty years and won't hear a word against it.

So go on — tell us your chippy of choice and what you always order in the comments. 👇

Saturday question, and this one's for the memory bank.

What's your favourite Guisborough event or memory?

Maybe it's a market day that sticks in your mind, a summer fair, the town at Christmas, or something smaller and more personal — a first date, a family day out, the year the weather actually behaved. Big or small, recent or decades back, we'd love to hear it.

We've got a feeling this comment section is going to be a lovely place to spend five minutes. Share yours below

Have you spotted the carvings? 🪵

Tucked among the trees in Guisborough Forest there's a sculpture trail — chainsaw-carved artwork hiding along the paths, waiting to be stumbled across. Half the fun is not knowing what you'll find round the next bend, especially if you've got kids who'll turn it into a treasure hunt.

It's all part of Guisborough Forest & Walkway: over 1,000 acres of woodland and open countryside on our doorstep, free to visit, with the main walkway following the old railway line that once ran from Middlesbrough to Whitby. There are picnic spots and a play area too, so you can easily make a morning of it.

Have you found the sculptures? Which one's your favourite — or is this the nudge you needed to go looking? Let us know below 👇

Big question, and we want proper answers. 🍽️

Where do you go for the best Sunday roast in Guisborough?

We're talking crispy roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding with actual structural integrity, and gravy you'd happily drink from the jug. Everyone's got a place they swear by — and everyone thinks everyone else is wrong.

Tell us your go-to spot in the comments, and what you always order. We'll be doing our research. 👇
