Summary edit
| Description |
English: The High Bridestones, Sleights Moor On the left is the tallest of the intact standing stones at the High Bridestones site on Sleights Moor. There are several fallen megaliths nearby, and others scattered around the area. A little further to the north-west is another set of standing stones known as the Low Bridestones. There are some more famous High and Low Bridestones elsewhere in the North York Moors national park, in gridsquare SE8791 - however those Bridestones are natural rock formations. The locally popular name of "Bridestones" may come from the Norse for being on the brink (edge). There are local legends that explain the stones as petrified bridal parties lost in the mists that hang on the moors. For some reason other visitors have felt the need to hammer coins into the natural cracks in the tallest standing stone. |
