wildtalents visited on 22nd Apr 2023 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Rather a grey damp day, hence the site was a bit slippy. Genuinely fun though, and I enjoyed the coy sign near the top of the site which points out all the landmarks you can see on the horizon BUT NOT the bloody awful RAF Menwith Hill NSA complex which we must all apparently pretend does not exist.
I enjoyed the local crows too, very accustomed to begging scraps from tourists but in a gentlemanly sort of a way.They park theyselves nearby, sneak a look at you every now and then, then politely look away in a "I'm just chillin' mate" kinda way. The second you chcuk them a bit of sausage roll though all decorum is abandoned and the victor speeds off to the nearest outcrop to munch smugly. Will definitely go back.

These millstone grit rock formations have been caused by glaciation and weather related erosion over thousands of years. Some of them are enormous. There are cup-marks/rock art on a few of the stones.
