Peter’s Stone is a distinctive limestone knoll that sits at the head of the narrow limestone valley of Cressbrook Dale. Geologists think this pinnacle slid downhill on a layer of clay from the main formation of limestone millions of years ago. It has a grisly human history. It is reputed to have been a ‘gibbet rock’ where the body of a convicted murderer Antony Liggard was displayed in 1815, the last public displaying of gibbeting. This dale is rich in wild flowers especially orchids and it is worth following Cressbrook Dale down passing Tansley Dale toward Ravensdale Cottages and eventually the small village of Cressbrook at the junction with Monsal Dale for a beautiful walk with much to photograph.
