Nine Ladies Stone Circle

About

A small early Bronze Age stone circle traditionally believed to depict nine ladies turned to stone as a penalty for dancing on Sunday. It is part of a complex of prehistoric circles and standing stones on Stanton Moor. Parking: The roads adjacent to Stanton Moor, where Nine Ladies Stone Circle is located, are very narrow and not suitable for parking on. Formal car parking is available at SK 4108, 6245, to the North East of Birchover, about 1.5km from the circle. Access: The site can be accessed via a number of footpaths depending upon your start point. They pass through fields and woodland with gates, stiles and uneven surfaces, which can be challenging, particularly for wheelchair users or buggies. Facilities: There are no facilities on site. Camping: Camping is absolutely prohibited on the moor. There are formal campsites nearby. Dogs: Dogs on leads are welcome but must be kept under close control as there may be animals grazing.
