Where you'll be

On the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, located in stunning Nidderdale, lies a collection of dramatic, weirdly shaped rocks set in dramatic moorland.

According to The National Trust, who own the site, 'the history of Brimham Rocks spans over 340 million years and is a treasure trove of geological and scientific interest. The natural and human history of the rocks have been enchanting visitors for generations. It is a place of history, adventure, peace and tranquillity'.
