What to expect

The Nine Ladies Stone Circle is a small early Bronze Age stone circle located on Stanton Moor in Derbyshire. The circle consists of ten millstone grit stones, with one stone having been buried for several centuries, leading to the belief that there were only nine stones. The site is part of a complex of prehistoric circles and standing stones on Stanton Moor. Visitors can explore the circle and enjoy the beautiful Peak District moorland views. The area is also home to other prehistoric sites, including Arbor Low and Hob Hurst's House, making it a great place to visit for those interested in history and nature.
