As the old saying goes, ‘The sun always shines on the blessed,’ and we were certainly blessed on our recent walk to Stanton Moor to see the Nine Ladies.
Our group enjoyed a wonderful 2.5-mile walk through farmland, spotting sheep, cows, and even alpacas along the way. We had a good laugh climbing over the stile as the views began to open up, revealing a stunning panorama. From the top, we could see Matlock and Riber Castle in all their glory.
Reaching the Nine Ladies stone circle, we were amused to find not just nine stones, but also a lady doing yoga in the middle, making it ten! After soaking in the scenery, we made our way back to Barn Farm, where we were warmly greeted at the shop and treated ourselves to some well-deserved coffees.
Such a lovely day—everyone left feeling contented and happy!
