Brimham Rocks

The Brimham Rocks are sandstone formations located on Brimham Moor in North Yorkshire, England. The rocks are nearly 300 metres.

The area is owned by the National Trust and is part of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There are many variations of rock formations, caused by the sandstone being eroded by water, glaciation and wind, most of which have achieved amazing shapes.

The children's television show Roger and the Rottentrolls was filmed in Brimham Rocks
