Earl Grey Tower (Reform Tower)

Highlight • Historical Site

This is no hunting tower, this is Earl Grey Tower, also called Reform Tower. It was built to commemorate the Reform Act of 1832, which was introduced by Charles Grey to give more people the right to vote. Such a pity the tower is in such a bad condition!

Stanton Moor Trig Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Cork Stone

Highlight • Climb

The Cork Stone is one of a number of impressive natural outcrops on Stanton Moor. With steps carved into one side, and a few handles hammered into the top, it's easy to climb the curious chunk of weathered sandstone. Getting down, however, is a little harder.

The Druid Inn, Birchover

Highlight • Pub

The Druid is at the centre of many local walking trails – a great place to stop by for a mid-walk snack, or a post-walk pint!

The Druid has loyally served Birchover locals as well as travelers from afar since 1851.

Rowtor Rocks

Highlight • Structure

Rowtor Rocks are a series of caves, rooms, alcoves, tunnels, flights of stone steps, a stone armchair, a square font, ring markings, rock basins and square sockets for crosses. The impressive sculpting was completed by local parson Thomas Eyre three centuries ago.

The Limestone Way

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Limestone Way is a waymarked long-distance footpath in Derbyshire, England. It runs for 46 miles (74 km) through the White Peak of the Peak District National Park, from Castleton south to Rocester over the county boundary into Staffordshire. The trail is named for the limestone scenery along its route.

Robin Hood's Stride

Highlight • Viewpoint

I don't think I'd try to replicate the legend here, they are much further apart than the photos depict.
