In 2011 this unique celestial amphitheatre and 21st century stone circle was officially unveiled. It invites a connection with the stars and mysteries of the universe.
The StarDisc is located high above Wirksworth in Stoney Wood in the Derbyshire Dales, part of a former limestone quarry that has been transformed into community woodland. It has attracted and inspired thousands of visitors; many have experienced one of the numerous exciting events that have been staged there.
