Casn anyone help me locate some geological features on the North Yorkshire Moors?
Many years ago we went to see som Tor's whilst on a Geography field trip. I *Think* they were somewhere in the region Riveaulx(?) Abbey but could be wrong. I also think they were unusual because they were a different geological composition to the surrounding area.
They weren't particularly big (maybe a few metres tall) and there was a line of maybe 4 on a ridgeline.
If anybody knows what and where I'm talking about please let me know as we're heading that way in a couple of weeks and would like to go there.
Brimham Rocks?
Wainstones?
simons seat is on the fells just to the north-ish?
The Bridestones?

As far as the geological composition of the area is concerned, there's all sorts to choose from; here's a screen-shot of the area from the British Geological Survey, centred on Riveaux Abbey:

As you can see, pretty varied.
Bridestones is the one.
Thanks.
Tor's what?
