1. Five Wells - a short walk and you'll have the place to yourself, nice views north over Chee Dale.

2. Arbor Low - gets a steady stream of visitors throughout the day, popular with mystics.

3. Minning Low - a fair hike from the car park, take a picnic with you.

4. Nine Ladies - popular with visitors.

5. Nine Stones Close - popular with cows.

Also for wow factor then Mam Tor always impresses, especially the views on a clear day but it's all uphill from the pay and display carpark. A personal favourite is Hordron Edge, been there many times and never seen another soul, also Doll Tor if you're already in the Stanton Moor area. If you want something unique then head a bit further east and book a tour of the carvings at Creswell Crags.

1) Surprised no-one has mentioned Rowtor Rocks. !
For me it's a must see when in the area, and a great place for a lunch stop.

2) Hordron Edge.

3) Big Moor, Making sure to take in those wonderful kerbed cairns between BB 1-2, And then back down the moor to the path to see the stone row on the way to spend an hour seeking out BB3.

4) Stanton Moor, So many circles so close together, It would be rude not to. !

Only one choice left, hmmmm ?, Would have to be one of the henges, I'd probably visit The Bull Ring over Arbor Low just for the simple fact you'll probably have it all to yourself.
