The Stanage millstones at Stanage Edge in the Peak District are discarded millstones from the 18th and 19th centuries. Made of hard gritstone, they were abandoned due to cracks or transport problems. Today, they lie scattered across the heath and bear impressive witness to early craft and industrial history.

Scattered beneath the gritstone cliffs of Stanage Edge lie the silent remnants of a once-thriving industry: abandoned millstones carved from the coarse local sandstone. These iconic stone discs—some over 2 metres wide—were quarried in the 18th and 19th centuries for use in grinding grain, sharpening tools, and pulping. Many were left behind where they were made, either due to imperfections or as demand declined when finer materials took their place. If you wonder why they haven't been moved - some weigh up to 2.5 tonnes each. They now form an integral part of the Peak District landscape's character.
