Gravel Path to the Moor

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Turns to grass after first kilometre. So best avoided after heavy rain. Great way to get up to the moor without having to use busy roads.

Swastika Stone

Highlight • Natural Monument

Of all the ancient carved stones that are liberally scattered across Ilkley Moor, the Swastika Stone is the most famous. The theory goes that the Swastika-esque patterns in the rock were carved by occupying troops during the Roman era. Although the pattern is unique to Britain, similar designs have been discovered in Italy, lending weight to the hypothesis that the visiting troops imitated the designed they had seen closer to home.
