The Nine Ladies is a Bronze Age stone circle dating back over 4,000 years, set on the heather-clad Stanton Moor. The circle consists of nine gritstone boulders arranged in a ring, with a tenth stone (the King Stone) standing apart. Visitors can walk among the stones, soak in the atmospheric setting, and enjoy far-reaching views across the Derbyshire countryside. It's a peaceful spot for contemplation and photography.
