About
High on Ilkley Moor, the Cow and Calf Rocks (also known as Hangingstone Rocks) are a large rock formation made of millstone grit. The larger rock and its smaller companion resemble a cow and calf. These rocks are great for climbing and offer spectacular views of Ilkley and beyond.
According to legend, the giant Rombald split the Calf from the Cow while fleeing an enemy. His angry wife, the enemy, dropped the stones from her skirt, forming the Skirtful of Stones.
Overnight parking in self-contained campervans and motorhomes is permitted at Ilkley – Cow & Calf carpark (W3W - insurance.foil.collected)
BBQs are not allowed on moorland in the Bradford district. Please #BeMoorAware and help us prevent wildfires. Remember to #RespectProtectEnjoy the landscape.
