[1] At 1,490 feet (454 m) above sea level it is the highest point in Hambleton District and the North York Moors National Park,[2] and the fourteenth most prominent hill in England.

[3] The name is a mix of Old English and Old Norse (horh and haugr) which means The Dirty Hill.

This track forms part of the route of both the Lyke Wake Walk and the Cleveland Way,[6] and also forms the most commonly used route of ascent for Urra Moor.

It is 1.9 miles (3 km) from the car park at Clay Bank to the summit via this route; total ascent is just under 660 feet (200 m).
