Stanton Moor is a small upland area in the Derbyshire Peak District, lying between Matlock and Bakewell near the villages of Birchover and Stanton-in-Peak. It is known for its megaliths and erratics.
The Nine Ladies stone circle
The moor has four bronze age stone circles, of which the best known is Nine Ladies. To its north lies "Stanton Moor I" (the "North Circle"), and to its south are "Stanton Moor III" (the "Central Circle") and "Stanton Moor IV" (the "South Circle"). These other circles are largely overgrown and have few remaining stones. A further circle, Doll Tor, lies a short distance west of the moor.

Trig Point walks offer the challenge of reaching the highest points in the Dark Peak and White Peak of the Peak District. Also, walking to a trig point often rewards you with the most spectacular views. With this in mind, special attention has been made to these walks and for each trig point walk there are route plans, maps, photographs and 360° panorama's for your enjoyment.
Walks in this category include town and village strolls, information about National Trails that pass through the Peak District, and every other walk whereby a trig point is not the goal. This includes both routes in the Gritstone Dark Peak and the Limestone dales of the White Peak.
Also, there are walks listed that are outside of the Peak District National Park, but are within easy reach of the Park see here
Peak District 360° offers a virtual tour of the 'best bits' of the Peak District. It offers you the views without even going there. The living images are displayed here to inspire you into taking some time to visit the area. To get your walking boots on and experience what the Park has to offer.
