Roystone Rocks and Minninglow: route guide – TGO Magazine

Roger Butler discovers hills and history at Roystone Rocks and Minninglow in the pastoral White Peak.

Our hills and dales never fail to surprise and the unexpected stone-splattered top known as Roystone Rocks is unlike anywhere else in the White Peak. This is the sort of place where you are allowed to use your imagination: it’s a ruined village; it’s a mini-Utah; it’s the cover of a famous Pink Floyd LP; it’s a jumble of boulders that must have been melted and moulded by a malevolent wizard. Chequerboard walls and crumpled shallow valleys stretch in every direction but, from the low ragged summit, the real eye-catcher is the distant clump of trees on top of Minninglow Hill.
