16. A car or cycle trip out to some standing stones - The High Bride Stones and Low Bride Stones above Grosmont on Sleights Moor
The prehistoric 'High Bride Stones', megalithic standing stones, are on the right side of the road above Grosmont which leads on to the A169 Whitby-Pickering Road and they lie on the flat topped Sleights Moor. The few remaining stones are starkly impressive on the bleak moorland, especially as they seem to lean at a precarious angle! These prehistoric High and Low Bride Stones south of Grosmont, are NOT to be confused with the natural High and Low Bride Stones north of Pickering in Dovedale near Dalby Forest.
Not sure why they are called The High Bride Stones, age?
They are surrounded by the beautiful upper wild moorland of the North Yorkshire Moors.
There is a 2nd lot of standing stones lower down in the Grosmont direction near Black Brow, not as prominent - you have to search around for the 'Low Bride Stone'
