A fantastic set of weathered rocks in the centre of Dalby Forest, itself a beautiful extensive area of land to the north west of Scarborough. There is a circular walk that you can take around this area which is well worth it for the views and scenery. Dalby forest is a traffic controlled road so you have to pay to enter the area but the area is huge with plentiful carparks so well worth the expense

Aptly named ‘Brink-stones’ or edge stones in Old Norse, you can follow footpaths to the top to experience the Bridestones first hand. These fascinating rocks are the remains of a sandstone ‘cap’ that was originally much higher, Jurassic sedimentary rock deposited some 150 million years ago. Layers of hard sandstone alternating with softer calcareous layers have been eroded by wind, frost and rain over thousands of years. The result is the strange and wonderful shapes left today. They make the perfect place to picnic or to sit and absorb panoramic views. Walk from the cottage or park at the Saltersgate car park and set off in a direction away from most others to reach Blakey Topping and onto the Bridestones! Go in the late afternoon and evening to the Bridestones to avoid peak time. Directions in the guide books and on the OS map provided in the cottage.
