This early Bronze Age stone circle is in a beautiful and atmospheric setting. As soon as you walk through the trees, the magic hits you. Legend has it that the circle depicts nine ladies turned to stone as a penalty for dancing on Sunday. There is also a 'fiddler stone' outside the main circle. The fiddler was also supposedly turned to stone for providing the music!

I can imagine this place (among others) being a hot spot on solstices and midsummer nights etc. It can get pretty busy here so be prepared for guests in your photos.

This part of Derbyshire (Stanton Moor) is steeped in ancient history. With burial mounds, stone circles, standing stones and much more. A truly magical place !
