EPPING FOREST OUTDOOR GROUP

The following day of our visit to The Peak District, on 2nd March, we walked from Barn Farm to Stanton Moor Plantation, and on to Earl Grey's Tower. From there we visited the Nine Ladies Stone Circle which was built about 4,000 years ago.  We walked on to Stanton-in-the-Park and Sheepwalk Wood and Alport village, where there was a water-mill by the River Bradford.  We lunched by the river between Alport and Youlgrave.  In the afternoon, we followed the Limestone Way to Harthill Moor, and clambered up Robin Hood's Stride, where there were wonderful views across the beautiful countryside, and back to Barn Farm.  This walk was about 9.5 miles, and it was very windy up on the hills!
