When I first learnt about Brimham Rocks and looked up pictures of the area it was somewhere I really wanted to check out.
From the National Trust car park which is expensive there is a short circular walk available taking in most of the rock formations.
Access to the rock is unlimited so there is a possibility to have a scramble around.

A marvellous set of photos :D the rock formation in your last two shots is amazing.
I visited Brimham Rocks once as a youngster many years ago, no camera then but remember it as a special almost magical place, must get back there and soon.

How the rock in the last photo stays upright is amazing.It looks as though a gust of wind could topple it.
