This scenic valley in the Peak District National Park is said to be the haunt of the legendary outlaw Robin Hood. The valley is surrounded by rolling hills, woodlands, and rugged rock formations, offering breathtaking views and scenic hiking trails. Visitors can explore the valley's picturesque villages, such as Birchover and Stanton in Peak, and enjoy outdoor activities like rock climbing, caving, and horse riding. The area is also steeped in history and folklore, with many ancient monuments and landmarks, including the Nine Ladies stone circle and the Birchover Blue John Cavern.
Really cool place, hermits cave and many fascinating trees. Oh and the rocks! Stopped in at the local pub for a pint on way back and discovered locally it is called 'Mock Beggars Hall' from a fascinating octogenarian Bryan !
Limited places to park, but very easy to get to from the road
Great for a scramble and explore on the way to the nearby stone circle. Couldn't find the ancient rock art though :(
Lovely place for a walk and a climb of the rocks (easy climb too, one for the whole family). The view from the top of the rocks is stunning too. Just countryside for miles! Well worth it! I would definitely recommend and would go back again for sure.
Bit of a hair-raising drive to get up here with lots of single-lane blind curves. If you survive you'll find parking to be challenging, too. The good news: the stone circle is very interesting and authentic. I wonder what all the pockmarks are on the back side of the northern-most stone? Short walk from the stone circle to the Stride itself, which looks to be an interesting puzzle. We had a good hour here.
My Mrs loves a walk, and fortunately so do I. Just be aware there's a lot of UP to get here but it's well worth the effort. No scrambling required just a bit of careful sure footedness. The views are breathtaking and well worth the admission, what admission! I'm kidding of course, it's free to roam all around. We got here via the bus from Matlock to a nearby village and then walked. Fortunately it wasn't busy at all when we went so lots of picture opportunities.
