A walk in the area of Stanton Moor, seeking a hidden Gem, no less. Plus viewing some of the more well known features of this area.

It isn’t on the map and you can’t see it from the path. What is this large smooth stone with its slightly cryptic carved inscription? How is it connected to a popular nursery rhyme? Our walk will help you discover the York Stone and the story behind it.
