Hiking

I chose to visit on a bike - not a good idea! The highlight is hiking only as the ground is very rough. Possible use on a mountain bike but I don't think cycling is meant to be allowed. Impressive stones but plan to walk to them!

Hiking

Spend at least 30 minutes exploring the strange shapes. Best seen on a sunny day so that the stones have blue skies behind them.

Hiking

The Bridestones, outcrops of millstone grit rocks and boulders which are ½ a mile long. Amongst these rocky outcrops are a number of odd-shaped formations that have been caused by weather-related erosion over thousands, if not millions of years. One huge boulder in particular, known as ‘The Great Bridestone’ is fantastically shaped at its base, looking like an up-turned bottle, as if it might topple over at any moment. There are a number of myths and legends associated with The Bridestones, many of these going back to the mists of time.
