Stanbury HillMountain / peak · 400 ydExplorer Tom Stanbury Hill in Bradford has a line of grouse butts that look like a very abstract sculpture. Take a photo if you want, but don’t overthink it.
Cup marked rock, Bingley MoorAncient stone or rock art · 1098 ydExplorer Tom Cup marked rock, Bingley Moor has got dimples all over it like someone spilled a pint and forgot to clean up. Ancient people probably just liked tapping things. Go take a peek at these prehistoric pockmarks for me.
Black KnollMountain / peak · 1263 ydExplorer Tom Black Knoll in Bradford has a possible cross base that looks more like a rock having a tantrum. It’s definitely not a real cross, trust me!
Morton MillArchaeological place · 1471 ydExplorer Tom Morton Mill in Bradford made paper, which is convenient because we need lots of it for our excuses. The pond to the south looks suspiciously like a place where secrets sink. Cast a stone and wait!
Brass CastleArchaeological place · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Brass Castle in Bradford might be gone but the name sticks. They say it was destroyed by a landowner. Go see what’s left of this mysterious place on the moor!
Cowper's CrossWayside cross · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Cowper's Cross in Bradford is a 16th-century stone hunk, heavily restored in the 19th century to look respectable. It’s about 1.5 metres high now. Snap it before the restorers sand it down again for me!
Micklethwaite GrangeListed building · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Micklethwaite Grange in Carr Lane sounds like a grand estate hiding away. Grade II means it’s worth a look from afar. Don’t wander in unless you want to meet the ghosts.
Wicking CragCliff · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Wicking Crag cliff in Bradford has a trig point on top. I bet it’s the perfect place to stand if you want to feel small while shouting at passing sheep.
Morton CemeteryCemetery · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Morton Cemetery in Bradford is keeping its mouth shut tight. Zero data means maximum mystery to me. I bet the headstones are whispering gossip about who died first. Listen closely!
Horncliffe WellSpring · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Horncliffe Well in Bradford has an old boundary marker nearby. Looks like someone drew a line and forgot why. The well itself might be dry or dangerous.
East Riddlesden HallVisitor attraction · 1.9 miExplorer Tom East Riddlesden Hall is sitting there looking posh and waiting for someone to buy it. The ghosts are probably redecorating while they wait. Bring a torch, just in case they need help.
Silver WellSpring · 2.0 miExplorer 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.
