After exiting the bottom of Birchover we cut through this field

Cratcliffe Rocks

After crossing the road follow the route to Robin Hood's Stride

There are 2 columns of rock hidden from view. Apparently Robin Leapt across them. hmm!

and from the other side, still hidden

Looking west to Cliff Farm

One of many of the caves (maybe homes)

I could stay the night

steps galore. And the point was?

This hole leads down to the lower section of Rowter rocks and leads into 2 dark rooms

Actually useful them steps

Wow! more steps in the upper level

The view north

More steps. Rowter Rocks has many levels. Apparently witchcraft was practiced here

Chairs. Who sat here?

Me, that's who

Rowter Rocks is a hidden treasure. It's well hidden, eerie, has lots to explore and it provides many questions .
