    Hiking

    The breathtakingly-beautiful rock formations of Brimham Rocks were created by an enormous river some 350 million years ago. They have since been shaped by millions of years worth of wind, rain, ice, and snow to create striking rock formations, many of which resemble familiar things. Brimham Rocks and its heather moorland are both Sites of Special Scientific Interest, managed by the National Trust.

    Mountain biking

    Step off the bike and have an explore of the Brimham Rocks. These magical rock formations were formed through water and rock erosion over 325 million years ago.

    In previous times it was assumed they were carved by druids, with each being given a druid name.
