Peter’s Stone

Saw this on the map many times, so I was in the area and checked it out. Its not so megalithic, but it’s certainly mega. The Peaks’ answer to Monument Valley.

Miscellaneous

Peter’s Stone
Natural Rock Feature

Named after St Peter’s in Rome; the domed top of the outcrop similar in shape to that of the church there.
A handaxe was discovered in the scree close-by and was perhaps associated with a barrow that is speculated to have been located in this area.
It was also the location of the Peak’s last gibbeting in 1815.
