A small standing stone near Winyards Nick on Hathersage Moor. I’ve made a few attampts in the past to find this and fortunately this time was successful. Once you know where it is, you can see it from miles away! There are a few other smaller possible standing stone and several cairns.

I had originally planned to go to Bamford Edge on Sunday morning for sunrise. However, snow the day before meant that I wouldn’t have stood a chance of getting my puny Ford Focus up the steep road from Bamford. I set of for Froggatt Edge but early morning conditions on the A57 were so bad, that I decided to stop at the nearest place and parked at Cutthroat Bridge, to visit Hordron Edge.
A normally quite easy walk, with only a short uphill scramble was hampered by about six inches of snow on the path. Conditions on the top of the edge, were the snow was often knee deep made the rest of the walk a real slog.
However, I was treated to a wonderful sunrise. Eventually the light of the low winter sun reached Hordron Edge Stone Circle (Seven Stones of Hordron), encased in snow drifts.

I’d been down to Arkwright’s Mill in Cromford earlier in the day to check out the gallery space there and thought I’d swing by Robin Hood’s Stride and Nine Stones Close on the way back, as it’s been on my to do list for years!
There are some rather compelling looking cup marks on the upright in the foreground.

Sat under the shade of an gnarled, ancient tree and close to the outcrop of Robin Hood’s Stride, the Grey Ladies have a fairytale quality.

Sunset at Mother Cap, Hathersage Moor. On evenings like this, it’s not difficult to imagine chanting druids leaping around the place!

The sun finally breaks through cloud on the horizon shortly after the Summer Solstice Sunrise and bathes Carl Wark in golden light.
