Pressure visited on 30th Sep 2023 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 I had an excellent visit to this beautiful stone this morning. Despite the heather it’s not that hard to find. Park on Redmires Road / Long Causeway in the first car park after you’ve gone past Wyoming Brook, head straight up the path for a kilometre, and you’ll see the stone on your right about 100 meters into the moor. There’s no specific path to the stone and you need to take some care getting through the heather. It’s close by to the magnificent Headstone which dominates the view of this side of the valley from the A57 and not from Wyoming Brook’s Ash Cabin flat area with the stone circle, menhir and rock shelter, as well as other features. This whole moor is almost like Stanton Drew - clearly a ritual landscape with lots going on and a strong relationship with the wilds of the peak and Lose Hill in the distance. It’s a good family walk even if you don’t go up the stone itself. The stone itself is not alone - there are many other recumbents around it, possibly an embankment, as well as several big stones half covered by heather within a few meters, and a cairn a little up the slope. It’s looking well looked after, which is gratifying. Bear in mind that Redmires Road is likely to be significant - it was called ancient in 1318, and was a Roman road which seems likely to have overlain an existing old track. There’s a lot going on in Redmires!
