Twelve Apostles Stone Circle

Posted by IlkleySwimmer 25 October 2011

Out running on Ilkley Moor recently, I bumped into two walkers searching for the 12 Apostles Stone Circle. Although drawn to the stones by their spirituality, a simple map reading error was taking them in completely the wrong direction. Storm clouds were gathering and Ilkley Moor's famous song was plainly not known to them as neither wore hats. I suggested that they abandon their search. This is my bid for their forgiveness. The 12 Apostles sit high on the summit plateau of Ilkley Moor with magnificent views in all directions. Take a hat, a good map and a flask of coffee (bible optional).
