Tips

September 28, 2018

Hiking

Nine Stones Close, the tallest of all the Peak District's stone circles, lies away from the official footpath in a secluded field corner. Only four stones remain of this former nine-stone circle. The name 'Nine Stones' is believed to date back to an earlier time when more stones survived. Its other name, 'the Grey Ladies', relates to local folklore that the stones transform into dancing women at midnight.
