スタントンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A short but exciting scramble up the rocky outcrop behind Birchover village leads to Rowtor Rocks, a wonderland of weirdly carved boulders, hidden tunnels, secret steps, and a proper little cave once used by a 17th-century vicar who liked to play at being a druid. Kids from age 4 absolutely love it here – there’s endless climbing, squeezing through narrow gaps, discovering carved chairs and altars, and plenty of “secret cave” excitement without it ever feeling too big or overwhelming. The paths are short, the rocks are grippy, and little legs can explore to their heart’s content while parents keep an easy eye from just a few metres away. Bring wellies or grippy shoes after rain (it can be slippy) and let the kids lead the adventure – they’ll be talking about their “druid cave mission” for weeks

Great early morning walk, gentle on the knees, fantastic views highly recommended

Cork Stone is one of several interesting standing stones on Stanton Moor. It is 5m tall piece of weathered sandstone located above the remnants of a quarry site. At some point hollowed out steps and metal rings were added to allow people (kids and their grownups!) to climb to the top

This stone circle from the Bronze Age, built thousands of years before the beginning of the Christian era, is neither as large nor nearly as famous as the legendary "Stonehenge" on the plains near Amesbury (which is, after all, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; if you're interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/960007 ), but this one can be visited without much tourist hustle and bustle, and it also has a much more interesting-sounding name...

Don't forget to check out the Druid's Rocks behind the Inn. Great place to explore.

Really lovely tower to come across, easy access for photo opportunities. steps are small and steep but still manageable even on snowy days just mind your step

Slight incline but still easy for beginners. ideal for dogs and children and those new to walking. beautiful even in the snow short walk close to the village too.

Stanton Moor Quarries were in use until the 1950s producing blockstone, grindstones/pulpstones and kerbstones.
