"With Brimham being a place with uneven terrain, it could be easy to think we’re off limits to those with mobility challenges. However it’s important to us that everyone feels welcome at Brimham Rocks. Firstly, blue badge holders get free parking. Once you’ve left your car we have a Tramper, a rugged mobility scooter, that you can hire free of charge. Please note this is only available during main facilities opening times and we ask that you return it by 3pm. Call us on 01423 780688 to book it or to discuss your accessibility requirements and we’ll do our best to assist you.
