Brimham Stones and Stump Cross Cavern, Yorkshire

Brimham Stones and Stump Cross Cavern

Brimham Stones

Situated in Brimham Moor in North Yorkshire Dale the rocks began taking 

their shape roughly 320 million years ago, when water, grit, and sand washed down 

from Scotland and Norway to form the land of Yorkshire. This moorland and its plants

are of special scientific interest and the work done here to preserve the moorland habitat 

is of world-wide importance.
