Brimham Rocks walk.

The Brimham Rocks site is spectacular walking and scenery even though it is a roughly square site only a couple of kilometers wide and there are any number of beautiful photos to take. I've decided to use monochrome for these because I think it suits the subject matter but I've seen beautiful colour images of this site in exhibitions.
Look out for the Brimham birch. Growing out of the rock face, this tree makes a great image from several directions.
Coming from the York direction, take the B6165 out of Knaresborough signed for Pately Bridge. A short distance after the Ripley roundabout you will enter the village of Burnt Yates. Shortly after this, there is a turning off to the right signed for Brimham Rocks. You can take this road or continue on until Summerbridge where there is another right turning

There are many footpaths criss-crossing this site but you can wander around the site for free though the parking is National Trust and costs £4 if you don't have a membership.
