Set in the Brimham Rocks area with moorland, woodland and sweeping views over the Nidderdale countryside, these walks are a great, sociable way to explore the outdoors.

Everyone is welcome to join us on a circular walk around Brimham Rocks led by our trained volunteers.

This trail follows the route from the kiosk at Brimham Rocks, along the farm track and across the north moorland to Mushroom Rocks. The walk continues round finishing at the kiosk. This route takes in a mixture of rocks, woodland and heather moorland. The walk offer great views across Nidderdale too.

This route is approximately 3 miles long and will last around 2 hours, starting and finishing at the refreshment kiosk for a well earned hot drink. You'll head through woodland and moorland, across a mixture of uneven gravel paths, narrow, muddy and wet sections. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a short lead.
