Geocache Description:

This cache takes you below the rocky escarpment into the woodland.


Brimham Rocks is owned and managed by the National Trust.  Naturally formed over 320 million years this amazing collection of weird and wonderful millstone grit rock formations makes a great day out for families, climbers and those wanting to enjoy the simple pleasures of fresh air and magnificent views over Nidderdale.  Let your imagination run wild as you explore the labyrinth of paths through this unique landscape and keep an eye out for some fantastically shaped rocks.   Spot the Dancing Bear, The Eagle and The Gorilla, crawl through The Smartie Tube and balance on the Rocking Stones.

 

As you walk through the woods to find the cache take a look at the trees that make up the woodland.  You will find oak, rowan, holly and birch.  Over the next few years the countryside team (made up of staff and volunteers) will be working in this area to thin the trees as they have become overcrowded through lack of management.   We think some of the oaks in this woodland are up to 200 years old.

 

Access is via footpaths which are uneven in places and can be muddy.

 

Parking can be found at N 54° 04.586 W 001° 40.955.  Parking is free to National Trust members, non-members pay and display.

Please abide by any geocaching guidelines and note that attempting geocaches on this property is undertaken entirely at your own risk.
