Stanton Moor - Peak District Walk
Thursday 12th June 2014
I set out this evening with two aims which resulted in something of a meander around the moor. I needed to check out a route on Stanton Moor and also hoped to get some shots of the Nine Ladies stone circle at sunset.

As I head towards the road I am treated to this view across the valley.

As I left the moor a grouse was guarding the stile.

The campsite's resident peacocks were keeping their eye on the campers.

Returning to the moor I passed the Cork Stone for a second time.

Heading across Stanton Moor.

The stone circle was rather busy so I headed out to the Reform Tower.

Having given up on the stone circle I took some sunset shots looking across the fields towards Manners Wood.
