Tabular Hills
The Tabular Hills form an east–west line along the southern bounds of the North York Moors, between Scarborough in the east and Black Hambleton in the west. The name refers to their flat summits composed of hard Corallian limestone, known locally as "nabs". They form the northern boundary of the Vale of Pickering. Description Steep-sided river valleys break through the Tabular Hills to form a broken series of tablet-shaped hills. The most distinctive feature is their northern escarpment, which rises to about 200 ft (60 m) above the moorland to the north. At their western end, beyond the River Rye, they join with the north-south Hambleton Hills, which have a similar geological basis. Striking among the river valleys are Newton Dale and Forge Valley – deep channels formed when an exit to the North Sea for glacial meltwater was denied by the North Sea ice-sheet, pouring over the lowest points in the local landscape during the last ice age and cutting steeply sided channels ...

Hole Of Horcum
The Hole of Horcum is a section of the valley of the Levisham Beck, upstream of Levisham and Lockton, in the Tabular Hills of the North York Moors National Park in northern England. Etymology Early forms of the name include ''Hotcumbe'', ''Holcumbe'', ''Horcombe'' and ''Horkome''. The first element of the name is Old English ''horh'', meaning "filth," while the suffix, ''cumb'', means "bowl-shaped valley", and is of Brittonic Celtic origin. The Hole The hollow is deep and about ¾ mile (1.2 km) across. The Hole was created by a process called spring-sapping, where water welling up from the hillside gradually undermined the slopes above, eating the rocks away grain by grain. In this way, over thousands of years, a once narrow valley widened and deepened into an enormous cauldron. The process continues today.

Similarly, the other cardinal directions are also related to the sun's position.
