Nidderdale: Brimham Rocks and How Stean Gorge
325 XP
Nidderdale is a National Landscape, formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, of moor, reservoir and gritstone. Brimham Rocks stand on the moor above the dale as a field of weathered gritstone tors, and Gouthwaite Reservoir below holds wintering waterbirds. Up the dale, How Stean Gorge is a limestone gorge between the villages of Stean and Lofthouse.
