Coordinates: 54°25′45″N 1°33′35″W / 54.4291°N 1.5598°W Cramble Cross is a public footpath through the English countryside. It is located near North Cowton in Richmondshire District Council in North Yorkshire.
It begins near the village green in North Cowton and ends on the back road between Dalton Gates and Moulton village.
The footpath crosses a field which was historically known as Scotch Graves, it is one of the possible sites of the Battle of the Standard in 1138. It is thought that the name Cramble Cross takes its name from a cross marking the last stand of the defeated Scottish soldiers.
The most interesting feature of this short walk is place where it crosses the cutting on the disbanded Eryholme-Richmond branch line. Further along the line to the west the cutting has been partially filled in and is used as a slurry pit by a local farmer.
