Lovely spot, small cairn to mark High Stones/Howden Edge. Lovely rugger moorland views, no jagged peaks here just bleak moorland...but beautiful on a sunny day like today!

You get a full 360 degree view. Use the stones and the rocks to picnic and admire the views of the Dark Peaks

High Stones, at 550 metres (1,804 ft), is the highest point within the boundaries of both Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
Great 360° views.
