Robin Hood's Stride
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by AngieLake : On the east side of the hill, on the left of the pathway approaching Robin Hood's Stride, is this lonely stone. It looks as if it might just have gone 'walkabout' from the Nine Stones on the west of the hill. Seems to have been used as a gatepost at some point. (The cattle were 'free to roam' further up the lane, and quite threatening!) (Vote or comment on this photo)

Robin Hood's Stride
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by nicoladidsbury : A view of Robin Hoods Stride. The area around the stride contains many ancient features. An old track way called The Portway Track, runs under the stride and continues northwest towards a feature called Castle Ring. To the Northeast there is a hermits cave, Cratcliff Rocks Hillfort, a magical dew pond and nine stones close to the north. What a place! (3 comments - Vote or comment on this photo)

Robin Hood's Stride
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by Antonine : These twin gritstone outcrops were sacred to the Druids. One outcrop is known as The Weasel, the other is known as The Inaccessible Pinnacle. They get the name Robin Hood’s Stride from the folk tale that claims Robin Hood bridged the 20m gap between the pinnacles in a single step. Photo taken in 2011

Robin Hood's Stride
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by jackdaw1 : A megalith that one passes on the stroll up to Hermit's cave. It appears to have been used as a gatepost in later times as there's a hole dug into it as seen in the shot.

Robin Hood's Stride
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by AngieLake : This stone caught my eye as I was climbing the east side of the hill towards Robin Hood's stride. (Following the footpath uphill, after parking in a slight layby beside the north/south road (Alport to Elton?) between Stanton Moor and Robin Hood's Stride.) The stone is well to the left of the path, over halfway up the hill. It looks as if it may have been used as a gatepost at some time. (1 comment)

Re: Robin Hood's Stride by Anonymous on Friday, 11 August 2006
I am not a nut but i think some ancient sites pulse with positive energy and some negative. This particular place made me feel very negative indeed. Actually i did nt even feel like talking. I am affraid it left me feeling morose and uncarachteristically morbid. (sorry). However it did have intence energy the type of which i could have done without. Stuart Wright.

    Strange we have jusy been there. Many years later and my 9 year old asked if we could go home as it was "very spooky and sad"

    YET, we walk upto the 8 ladies stone circle on Stanton every day as we live close and she loves it there and dances amongst the stones so there is definately a feel tot hese places.

    A friend of mine and myself have been several times to robin hoods stride and the near by circle and we are in no doubt what so ever of it's negative energy
    and are certain it holds a lot of dark secrets. However the nine ladies beautiful
    And serene. Gareth Wilson
