Brimham Rocks Boundary Walk

Four miles and about an hour and three quarters around the outside of the National Trust's gritstone estate, taking in the Idol Rock and the Druid's Writing Desk before swinging out through woodland, farmland and open heather moor with 90 metres of gentle climbing. Start from the Brimham Rocks visitor centre car park above Summerbridge, which is free to Trust members and pay-and-display otherwise; the south moor section becomes very wet and boggy after rain, so waterproof boots earn their keep. Dogs are welcome all over the estate but must be on a lead on the moorland and around grazing stock, and the rock formations have sudden unfenced drops that a bounding dog will not see coming.
