Brimham Rocks is one of the most amazing places I’ve been to in Yorkshire… formed over 400 million years ago, they are a collection of weird and wonderful rock formations which you can climb and explore for hours on end!

Carved by ice, rain and sandstorms over millions of years, what was once a mountain range to rival the Himalayas, you can now explore and see strange rocks such as The Dancing Bear, The Dog and The Gorilla.

Being at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale, you can also see amazing views for miles around, meaning once you’re tired from exploring the labyrinth of rocks and paths, you can pick a spot to sit and relax to enjoy the breath-taking views.

There are some info boards around helping you to spot each rock, which I may have spent a little bit too much time looking over and created a bit of a queue behind me! You can also pick up an info pack from the cabin in the car park if you don’t want to get stuck behind me!

It’s a great way to spend a few hours, or you can easily make a full day of it if you want to roam a little further and take in one of the many walking routes heading off into the surrounding countryside. A perfect day out for the whole family!
