    Tips

    Nine Stones Close, the tallest of all the Peak District's stone circles, lies away from the official footpath in a secluded field corner. Only four stones remain of this former nine-stone circle. The name 'Nine Stones' is believed to date back to an earlier time when more stones survived. Its other name, 'the Grey Ladies', relates to local folklore that the stones transform into dancing women at midnight.

        This is a nice spot to watch the comings and goings on Robin Hoods stride, also to the NW of this seeks to be another stone circle, although not investigated.
