Great day out ☺️ the road to this place is amazing palces you are passing by are form dark ages ;) few things you need to know is if you pass throu the fence near the tower you will find great woodland rout. Few old stone houses inside it. Also if you go around the nine ladies they are hidden places where is really beautiful. Have fun 😁

Pretty moorland, 360 views and the purple heather just popped! In search of a Stanton Moor's hidden gems On the birchover walk, we explored Stanton Moor's Cork Stone, Nine Ladies Stone Circle and Earl Grey Tower.

A beautiful walk in the summer, love the place

This Moreland to me is the most refreshing place to clear your head, relax, and go on an adventure, for years it has amazed me at how vast and varied of a landscape it is and it has so much to offer. Sadly I went up there today to find that part of the wooded area had been trashed, litter everywhere discarded tents chairs rubbish you name it. Luckily this is off the main routes but it was upsetting to see what some people had done. However! Do not let that take away anything from this place... Is extensive and immersive and clean and litter free for the most part. It seems to be very well maintained every time I go, it was just a shame this time there was that. I garentee you if you go to Stanton lees moor you will fall in love with it and want to go back all the time. The villages are very very nice around the area also and makes for a very nice location to find a campsite to go on for a holiday 😃🏕️🏕️🏕️

A gorgeous place for an easy walk. No huge hills or anything strenuous but lots of beautiful views.

Nice moorland for a walk with some good views and standing stones, mainly the Nine Ladies Stone Circle and the Cork Stone. There is a variety of scenery and it's small enough to explore on a single walk of a couple of hours.

Great walking location and stunning views!

Stanton Moor, home of the nine ladies, is a beautiful area to visit. Purple heather for miles around and the views are spectacular "our green and pleasant land."

Beautiful in August with the Heather and gorse

Lovely shaded walk in the trees for doggo.

Probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been , atmospheric , evocative , ancient, sacred , felt like part of me stayed there ...part of me will always return there ..

Fantastic views and plenty of exploring to be done

We are currently completing the Ethel challenge. This is one of them. My girls loved running out and about on the moor and visiting the Cork stone.

Nice place for a walk it is quite a big place there are a few valleys as well so be careful when walking near the edge as some have a huge drop. This is the place where the Ladies stone circle and the Cork Stone are located. It was very busy when I visited not sure if that was jus the warm weather but was a lot of people near to the stone circle sitting in the middle which was annoying as they were picnicking so could not really get good photo of the stones.

Love a walk around here, beautiful scenary and not too far to walk round

Historic area, don't just visit the nine ladies stone circle, If you walk the wider perimeter you will find little treasures.

Stunning walk and scenery!

A really nice moorland. Some parts are uneven, so better tread carefully and watch where you are going. You will go pass lots of unique places.

We walked up the most difficult path as we were lost. We came up from the road via the quarry BUT it was an absolutely stunning walk. Nature has taken the quarry over and the trees, ferns, streams, bird life, and moss covered stones were breathtaking. One of nature's reclaimed 'cathedrals'. Once we finally reached the top of the quarry path...about 15 minutes, we followed the set route markers - and came to a gate. After going through (and relocking it after ourselves) we followed the path to the left and came out of the trees, and into the stones! The Ladies stand quietly in the sunshine (for us that day anyway). Waiting. They are small low stones...about 2ft tall. It is peaceful and utterly beautiful. There was a drumming circle there that day and we met some very gentle souls - ramblers, families, dog walkers and those lovely drummers. Do it. It's great.
