Also used in a scene of the recent "Dad's Army" film - Toby Jones was supposed to rescue Catherine Zeta Jones from the waves here, but on the first take he dropped her back in.

Roseberry Topping is a hill near Great Ayton in North Yorkshire, just over 1,000ft high. Its characteristic shape was formed by a collapse in 1912, probably due to ironstone and alum mining. The approach from the steep side, from the village of Newton-under-Roseberry is hard work. However, the walk is much easier from the parking area at the end of the road from Great Ayton Railway Station. Captain Cook's Monument can be easily accessed from the same starting point. The views are excellent. The Cleveland Way has an option to include it.

The Black Lion Pub became the Royal Oak, Walmington-on-Sea, and has stayed in that form ever since. The film stars Catherine Zeta–Jones, Toby Jones, Bill Nighy and many more well-known actors.
