Rombald’s Moor is a large area of moorland roughly bordered by Ilkley in the north, Silsden in the west, Keighley in the south and Menston in the east. Ilkley Moor forms part of the larger Rombalds Moor, and is home to more than 400 rock carvings, known as ‘cup and ring’ stones.

Get your hiking boots on, this place is all about walking – especially if you’re looking for any of the carved stones scattered around! These stones are not as easy to find as you may think, so mark them on your map before going. Even if you don’t find any carved stones, you can simply enjoy the beauty of the landscape and panoramic views.

Ilkley moor carpark (53°54’59.3″N 1°48’01.2″W) and White Wells car park (53°55’08.1″N 1°49’34.5″W) are both on the edge of the moor. Here we have marked many of the stones:
