The Cheese Press Stone is a well-known pair of limestone boulders, probably glacial erratics, situated on the western slopes of Kingsdale, in the Yorkshire Dales. Guess what – the name comes from an apparent resemblance to a cheese press. There are great views all around, including of two of Yorkshire’s Three Peaks, Ingleborough and Whernside, and it’s interesting walking country, full of classic limestone features such as pavements and caves. Yordas Cave is further up the valley and the two can be combined in one walk. Access to the Cheese Press Stone is only possible on foot and it is a reasonably strenuous walk to reach it. Post Code is obviously approximate.
