"Brimham Rocks are balancing rock formations on Brimham Moor in North Yorkshire, England. The rocks stand at a height of nearly 30 feet in an area owned by the National Trust.

There are many variations of rock formations, caused by Millstone Grit being eroded by water, glaciation and wind, some of which have formed amazing shapes. Many formations have been named, though imagination is required and the correct viewing angle is helpful. Examples include the Sphinx, the Watchdog, the Camel, the Turtle and the Dancing Bear. The area was recognized as being a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1958." link

Entrance to the Brimham Rocks is free and has a number of public footpaths through the area. However there is a car parking charge for non National Trust members.

The Trust encourage people to take an interest in the wildlife as well enjoy the rock formations. This insect hotel is made of a variety of different materials giving a home to a diverse mix of insect life.
