About this property
The Bridestones and Crosscliff Estate covers an area of 488 hectares (1,205 acres) and is a mixture of farmland, open moorland and woodland. Bridestones Moor – named after its peculiar rock formations created from sandstone laid down under the sea during the Jurassic period – is a SSSI and nature reserve with typical moorland vegetation, including three species of heather, an ancient woodland estimated to date from the end of the last Ice Age, and herb-rich meadows. The Bridestones Nature Trail is approximately 1½ miles long and leads visitors through a range of habitats. Blakey Topping at the northern end of Crosscliff Moor is the result of massive erosion by glacial meltwater and now gives a superb 360° view from its summit.
