When it is not foggy this a fantastic place to view the Peaks

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.

The bridge was built in the 17th century as part of a significant trade route, illustrating the infrastructure of the era before the widespread use of turnpike roads. Its narrow width and low parapets were specifically designed to accommodate packhorses, which carried goods in panniers, or saddlebags, across the bridge.

gets super busy at the weekends, but it is really accessible and a classic!

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.

There's a coffee van in the car park here at the weekends now - good coffee, good cake.
