High Cote

Explorer Tom Sepulchre Stone named rock in Bradford sounds spooky, like a stone coffin for a very large, angry dwarf. I’d bring a shovel and a prayer, just in case he wakes up grumpy.

Explorer Tom High Crag is standing tall on Ilkley Moor, pretending to be a mountain. It’s just a big rock having an ego crisis. Give it a wave, but don’t get too close to the drama.

Explorer Tom Piper's Crag in Bradford has a gate, which means someone thinks they own the rock. Cheeky! It’s a cliff with a doorman. If you get past the gate, send me a photo.

Explorer Tom Swastika Stone in Bradford is the most famous local prehistoric spot, which sounds like it needs a bit of a public relations rebranding. Have a go at finding it.

Explorer Tom Carved rock incorporated in and extending beyond outbuilding at Hardwick House Farm is stuck in the wall! It looks like it’s trying to squeeze through. Go tell that farmer his garden ornament has ancient origins!

Explorer Tom Heber's Ghyll in Bradford is hiding its name behind some very thick brambles. It looks like it wants to be discovered, but only by the brave. Clear a path!

Explorer Tom Netherwood House in Bradford has a tree stump nearby that’s apparently famous. That’s what I call a landmark! Take a picture of both the house and the stump for me.

Explorer Tom Shepherd’s Hill in Bradford is keeping watch over its flock of sheep who are probably eating your trousers. It’s got a plantation on the side for shade. Wave at the shepherds if you see any!

Explorer Tom Briery Wood in Bradford has fields below that look soft from a distance, but be careful. Thorns might be waiting to greet you with a hug. Wear long sleeves and let me know how scratchy your arms are!

Explorer Tom Cragg House Farm is doing what farms do: working hard and looking tired. It’s listed Grade II, so it’s more than just mud and animals. Grab a photo of the farm buildings for a rustic touch!

Explorer Tom Silver Well in Bradford has a cottage next door. Nice and cozy for them, while we freeze. The water might actually be silver, or just very cold.

Explorer Tom Doubler Stones in Bradford are named after a big dish, which is honestly a brilliant name for two rocks. One has bronze-age markings, so give them a cheeky wave!
