Brimham Rocks

Brimham Rocks, Yorkshire, England

Hilly

A ride to the spectacular Brimham Rocks in Nidderdale, Yorkshire. After a relentless climb across Skelding Moor, plummet into Pateley Bridge, and then climb four steep ramps from Smelthouses to reach the Brimham Rocks visitor centre. The natural spectacle of Brimham Rocks, with its giant rock formations, was created by an immense river 100 million years before the first dinosaurs walked the earth, and a visit to this amazing landscape is truly a journey into pre-history. The rocks, sculpted by 320 million years of movement of entire continents as well as hundreds of thousands of years of ice, rain and wind, have taken on weird and wonderful shapes and with a little imagination, they resemble familiar creatures.
