It’s always a nice change to walk with a group, and this one was a decent sized one. About 11 of us joined Jane, our instructor, for a 7 mile walk up behind the Cow and Calf to the Grubstones with the wonderful horse’s head carving, the hard to see Grubstones circle, and the intriguing 12 Apostles stone circle. We descended to Burley Woodhead and returned by Audley Clevedon and Ben Rhydding golf course – a great walk with awesome views.
The Grubstones are thought to be a natural formation, but our ancestors clearly thought they were special as they built their structure beside them. It looks like a stone circle, but might originally have been a burial mound.Spot the horse’s head! All the local walkers love it, but no-one seems to know who carved it, or when.The Grubstones stone circle in the foreground with the shooting hut and distant views of Airedale behind.The famous 12 Apostles stone circle on Burley Moor.
