Robin Hood's Stride is a striking gritstone outcrop on the eastern edge of the Peak District, featuring two prominent pinnacles known as the Chimney and the Pinnacle. Legend says Robin Hood leaped between them to escape his enemies. The site offers excellent bouldering and climbing routes for all abilities, while walkers can explore the surrounding heathland and enjoy views over the limestone dales. Its distinctive shape and folklore make it a memorable landmark.
