Brimham Rocks, eroded rock formations near Harrogate

Brimham Rocks is an area of weird and wonderful rock formations formed from deposits laid down in a river delta some 320 million years ago and then subsequently eroded by ice and water. It is a site of special scientific interest (SSI) and a magnet for geologists, naturalists, climbers and walkers, as well as families – so it can get crowded. Unless you have children, you may want to avoid school holidays. Equally, it can be a good place for a picnic and there are also facilities on site. Walk or cycle there, or pay as well as NT parking nearby. According to the National Trust, it can take 4 hours to walk round the entire site – possibly longer during school holidays.
