Brimham Rocks, located in Yorkshire, is an fun curiousity. From the main website, it's a collection of "weird and wonderful rock formations," situated just east of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and on a hill commanding beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
As I've traveled throughout Europe, I find that many destinations offer so much to see and experience, that it can easily become stressful (if you're like me, and have the desire to "not miss out"). Brimham Rocks is simple, and just . . . fun. You go, pay a few GBP for parking (free for National Trust members), and get to play on a giant natural rock playground with great scenery and fascinating nooks and crannies. Scramble over the rocks, climb/boulder around the place, have a picnic, or just enjoy the views. If you live in Yorkshire, it's a great day out, and suitable for kids of most ages (if they can walk well, they'll like it). For maximum enjoyment, pick a day with good visibility and little wind- and don't forget the camera.
