    Tips

    January 7, 2020

    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.

      If you can stomach getting up very early for hikes and runs, then you will have the place to yourself. Absolutely stunning at around 6-7am in the early morning May sunshine.
