Well-preserved Neolithic henge in the White Peak area. Massive earthworks provide good vantage points onto the circle and surrounding landscape. Evidence of an earth ridge that connected the henge to the Neolithic oval barrow some 300m or so away lies to the south west. VR and GR stone markers circumscribe the protected areas and show the Statutory Protection awarded to the features in Victorian and Georgian times. One of the best preserved henge monuments in the UK. Car park area has room for four or five cars. Entrance at £1 per adult, children can access for free, is well worth the price.

Nice short walk through the sheep fields. There are a couple of styles to negotiate if you want to do both mounds, but the stone circle is accessed through two gates. Nice bit of history considering this is 2000 years older than stonehenge. As it is a national trust property there are a couple of information boards containing some historical facts. If you have a spare half hour it is worth a visit.

Really nice views etc. from up there. It's an amazing feat of human engineering really when look around at the surrounding landscape. Definitely worth a visit. Not much parking nearby - Farmer charges a pound to cross through his farm to the stone circle. Having said that...it's easily with it.

Arbor Low is a lovely Neolithic stone circle or henge with a ditch and bank enclosure. The stones are all laying down but that doesn't detract from the scale of the monument. In the next field is the nearby Bronze Age round barrow called Gib Hill. Easy access to both can be achieved by using the small English Heritage car park next to the farm house. Discretionary £1 parking donation.

Recumbent stone circle with henge bank and ditch in a wonderful location on high ground with views all round. The day we went the place couldn't have looked better fantastic weather and sky. Remarkable. Pay £1 for access across private land
