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...

Heights of Abraham great views

19th century pleasure ground which exploited the dramatic qualities of the Derwent valley. Peter Arkwright of Willersley Castle enclosed the grounds c 1860 and constructed pedestrian paths from a new entrance on the south side approached from the bridge to Matlock Bath railway station. The entrance from Starkholmes Road was retained and could be used by carriages. A pathway was formed through Fern Cave (scheduled ancient monument) and another on a narrow ledge along part of the cliff face. In 1879 the grounds were leased to the Matlock and High Tor Recreation Grounds Company Ltd and Milner of London was retained to supervise landscaping. Arkwright's Grand Walk, also used by carriages, was created, leading south to the summit from a gateway in Pig Tree Lane, now Pic Tor Lane. A refreshment room was erected near the summit, tennis and quoit or skittle grounds were constructed close to a modified southern entrance and additional paths put in with a broad flight of steps.

Lathkill Dale is absolutely gorgeous with it’s crystal clear water that’s so clear it’s like looking into an aquarium, there is an abundance of wildlife with Swans, Ducks, Dippers and Kingfisher’s above the surface with Otters, Brown Trout and rainbow Trout below the surface, be careful if you fancy a sit down on a raised stone as the Otters leave their spraint on them 😁 I nearly sat in one, there are many places to start walking this Dale but a great one is to park in Alport village and walk to Lathkill Dale proper.

Interesting after reading your post

The footpath along the summit is commonly known as Giddy Edge, unfenced and not recommended for small children . There is a small metal handrail afixed to the inside edge (of the cliff) totally spectacular.

High Tor is the last place in England where eagles nested and is a stunning limestone escarpment which is the site of former lead mines.

Amazing formation. A great walk from the stones

There is limited parking in the roadside, meaning you can have a short walk to the Cork Stone. This is a huge lump of gritstone that has stood for thousands of years. Wonder what they called it before corks were invented? There are metal handles which were added in the 19th century to help you climb up it if you fancy a challenge!

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 !

Very interesting. Worth the short walk

Well worth looking for. Can access via close road also

Very nice walk. Not too hard.

The top of the moor. You can't go any higher. It's an achievement

One of the easiest trig points to bag.

A fun spot you can easily climb up onto.

Stanton Moor is a majestic area of upland on the edge of the Peak District. With a Bronze Age stone circle at its heart, the moorland is much-celebrated for its connections to ancient spirituality. Furthermore, you get breathtaking views from rocks on the edge of the moor; overlooking Bakewell from one side and Matlock to the other. There’s a great deal of wildlife, too. All in all it’s a magical place to explore and one of my favourite spots in the Peaks.

Cool little gorges near Stanton Trig point.
