After a lunch at The Old Smithy Tearooms in Beeley,  a delightful walk to do is on Stanton Moor.  On a beautiful clear day, such as today the open vistas are vast, on one side you look down the valley towards Matlock and on the other side over towards Over Haddon & Youlgreave.  The scenery on the moor is so different from the rest of our area, probably the closest heather moors to Parwich.  The heather is just starting to come out & in 2-3 weeks it really will be a blaze of colour.  The main footpaths are well trodden and excellent underfoot, suitable even for those who are a little uncertain on their feet, providing you can cope with one stile.  It is about a 15 to 20 minute walk to see the Nine Ladies Stone Circle, small standing stones in the middle of the moor.  Parking is on the road from Stanton in Peak to Birchover.
