Brimham Rocks

Brimham Rocks is made of millstone grit, created in a river system 320 million years ago; this layer lifted up when the Pennines, a range of uplands in the North of England, formed. Today, Brimham Rocks is a natural landscape created from the weathering that has split the rocks along natural joints and horizontal weaknesses; the last Ice Age, 10-18,000 years ago, wore away the softer rock leaving the shapes we see today. Natural erosion still continues.

Brimham Rocks is now managed by the National Trust; we followed the trail map for the site to see the rock formations. It was very interesting.En savoir plus
