What are the Brimham Rocks?

Brimham Rocks, managed by the National Trust, is a collection of stunning rock formations created over millions of years by ice, wind, and rain. These towering formations make for a magical setting, perfect for adventurers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat into nature. Whether you’re scrambling over rocks, enjoying a picnic, or taking in the breathtaking views, there’s something for everyone.

Tramper – Accessibility for All

One of the biggest challenges of exploring rugged landscapes is accessibility. Thankfully, National Trust  provides a Tramper, a specially designed all-terrain mobility scooter, available to borrow free of charge. The Tramper allows individuals with limited mobility to navigate the rocky terrain and enjoy the beauty of Brimham Rocks without limitations.
