Centre Vale Park in Todmorden - The start of a walk to the Bridestones
Looking up to the edge of Bridestones Moor from the park
Looking down Meadow Bottom Road
Looking down on Todmorden and the railway viaduct

The Bridestones are Grit Stone Tors, formed by a combination
of subsurface weathering, freeze-thaw during periglacial times 13,000 years ago and
ongoing erosion by wind and rain!
They all have individual names given by the locals and
climbers including, Little Brother and Big Sister, The Indian's Head and The Cheese
Block. The one to the left in this picture is the fallen
'Groom' next to the Bridestone herself.
More of the stones....
The trig point amongst the rocks
The view across the moor
Some rock climbers testing their skills
They're a bit behind the times in Yorkshire!
