Brimham Rocks near Summerbridge (1) A dramatic display of Millstone Grit eroded into fantastic shapes, rather like a dinky version of the rock formations commonly found in Arizona and surrounding states. Unlike most others, these rocks have tended to remain standing due to an inward tilt. A Site of Special Scientific Interest, owned by the National Trust.
