    Hiking

    A short walk to the 9 Ladies stones and the King Stone. An added bonus was a nice walk around the boundary to Stanton Moor Edge with brilliant views.

    Hiking

    The King, a squat but smooth gritstone outlier about 50m from the main Nine Ladies stone circle on Stanton Moor in the Derbyshire Peak District. With 19th century graffiti.

    Peak archaeologist John Barnatt has postulated that it may be the sole element evident above ground of some more complex prehistoric monument, possibly even another stone-circle.
