Stonebeck Down

Stonebeck Down is a civil parish in Harrogate district, North Yorkshire, England.

The parish includes large areas of grouse moor, rising to the remote peak of Meugher.

Historically Stonebeck Down was a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Malzeard in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
