Stanton Moor from Winster: 6.5 Miles Moderate
Winster - Stoop Wood - Stanton Moor Edge - Cat Stone - Reform Tower - Nine Ladies Stone Circle - Cork Stone - Birchover - Rowtor Rocks - Portway - Winster
From the car park above Winster wander down through the rows of former miners cottages to the main street.
Woodhouse Lane leads off the main street near the old Market House, follow this lane down past the children's play area and across fields to Stoop Wood.
Go through Stoop Wood and over fields to cross Clough Lane and then onto Barn Farm. Turn right before the farm on a vague path above Hill Wood to a stile on the lane below Stanton Moor Edge.
Turn left up the lane and immediately right onto the path along the edge of Stanton Moor. Keep to the path on the edge of the moor passing various rocky tors including the Cat Stone until reaching the
Reform Tower.
Go through the stile here and head right through the Birch wood to the Nine Ladies Stone Circle. From the stone circle follow the broad path south across the moor and turn right along another broad path
passing the Cork Stone to the road above Birchover.
