Roulston Scar (also know as Sutton Bank) is a high point on the Hambleton Hills and the North Yorkshire Moors with extensive views over the Vale of York. It is the site of one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the region: a massive Iron Age hillfort, constructed around 400 BC. Because it faces the prevailing westerly winds, Sutton Bank has been used for the sport of gliding since the early 1930s The Yorkshire Gliding Club opened in 1934 and is based at the top of the hill.
