The Brimham Rocks are rock formations located on Brimham Moor in North Yorkshire, England. The rocks stand at a height of nearly 300 metres in an area owned by the National Trust which is part of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The property is open all year around; typically from 8 a.m. until dusk.
There are many variations of rock formations, caused by the Millstone Grit being eroded by water, glaciation and wind, most of which have achieved amazing shapes. Many of the formations have been named, though some imagination is required and the correct viewing angle is helpful. Examples are The Sphinx, The Watchdog, The Camel, The Turtle and The Dancing Bear.
The children's television show Roger and the Rottentrolls was filmed in Brimham Rocks.
