Route Description for Eagle Stone Circular Walk
Walking the Eagle Stone Circular is a fantastic outdoor adventure that can be enjoyed by a wide variety of walkers due to the amazing views overlooking the surrounding hills of the Peak District and the historic monuments that are dotted along the trail. Setting out from the car park next to the Robin Hood Inn, the trail heads north along Birchen Edge, offering some amazing views across the Derwent Valley from atop the escarpment. From here, you will pass by the monument dedicated to Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar before making your way west towards Eagle Stone. Once there, you can explore the terrain around the unique rock formation, where you will find the monument dedicated to Wellington’s victory at Waterloo. After taking in the sights, make your way down the hillside and along the foot of Gardom’s Edge before arriving back at the pub where you began.
