Overview

Bridestones, Golden Stones, Orchan Rocks

The Orchan Rocks in Calderdale refer to the Bride-stones on Bridestones Moor, an escarpment of Millstone Grit rocks overlooking the Calder Valley. These rocks, weathered over time into unique shapes, are a popular attraction in Calderdale, known for their quirky forms and potential connection to ancient British folklore.
