Stoke Flat Stone Circle View all content for Stoke Flat (36 posts)

Visited 31/12/01CE. Stoke Flat stone circle stands only a few feet away from the popular path that runs along the Froggatt Edge. Despite the constant flow of walkers passing by, the circle is neglected and there's nothing to draw anyone's attention to its presence ... most people would naturally spend their time out here looking the other way, what with the spectacular views over the peaks from up here. Most of the stones are less than half a metre tall, only one stone at the SW entrance comes in at over a metre. The circle is pretty ruined, and due to snow when visiting it wasn't really clear where all the stones were or how many there might have been. Not particularly interesting in itself, but Stoke Flat stands in a prehistoric landscape full of massive stones worthy of reverence themselves, and awe-inspiring views. On a clear day like today, you really can see forever.
