Waymarkers of the Peak District

'The route visits 5 mileposts, 2 boundary stones and 3 ancient gritstone guide posts (known locally as 'stoops', derived from an old Scandinavian word) used by packhorse trains before the turnpike era. Each stoop is accompanied by a "companion stone", part of an art project instituted in 2010. The walk also takes in a prominent wooden pole also once used as a guide to travellers and parish boundary marker ... The route is around the spectacular Longshaw Estate, formerly the hunting ground of the Dukes of Rutland. There are good paths but also sections of rough ground walking and of course some sections beside busy roads (a high visibility vest is recommended for your safety) ...'
