Minninglow Hill, Peak District

Today I took a trip up to the Peak District and Minninglow Hill in particular.

It's on the High Peak Trail and I have cycled past it many times but never ventured up to the summit.

It's worth the effort to get there and consists of a perfect circle of trees, a low stone wall with another group of trees in the centre.

Within the circle are the remains of the Neolithic tomb chambers and Bronze Age structures.

They look like large flat limestones set in different arrangements.

By far the most impressive photographs are from above taken by a drone.
I don't have a drone, so I cheated and downloaded a photo.

Minninglow Carpark was a great place to overnight.
Very quite, just the local wildlife for company
