The Balancing Act Of Brimham Moor's Idol Rock

Located in North Yorkshire, England, Brimham Moor is host to a huge collection of weird and wonderfully misshapen rocks. Some rocks look like dancing bears, eagles, gorillas, lovers, and even Smartie Tubes.

But the most impressive of them all is the so-called Idol Rock, a 15-foot high, 200-ton monolith sitting on a small triangular rock. Also called the Druid's Idol, folks believe it was created by the Druids to serve a mystical purpose the same way as Stonehenge.
