Rombalds Moor, Moorland in Bradford, England

Rombalds Moor extends across 402 meters in elevation, featuring rocky outcrops, heather-covered terrain, and wide views over Yorkshire's countryside.

Archaeological investigations have revealed multiple stone structures and settlement traces across the moorland, indicating continuous human presence spanning thousands of years.

The moorland holds connections to local tales about a giant named Rombald, whose actions supposedly created the natural formations known as Great and Little Skirtful of Stones.

Multiple access points connect to established walking paths throughout the moor, with nearby towns providing necessary supplies and accommodation options for visitors.

Over 400 stones featuring cup and ring marks are scattered across the moorland, representing one of England's largest collections of prehistoric rock art.
