From the Wikipedia article

Carlton Bank is a hill in the Cleveland Hills, in north-east England. It is within Carlton Moor in the North York Moors and overlooks the villages of Carlton-in-Cleveland and Faceby. The summit provides extensive views of Teesside including Middlesbrough and Redcar to the north as well as the surrounding moorland. Roseberry Topping can also be clearly seen from the summit in a north-easterly direction. The bank was host to an alum works in the 18th century. The Cleveland Way National Trail crosses Carlton Bank and is part of Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk. A gliding club aerodrome was once situated approximately 500 metres (1,640 ft) south of the summit. The rock band Mott the Hoople were photographed in the woods for the cover of their third album Wildlife in January 1971.
