Description
The unusual Robin Hood’s Stride formation as seen from the west. Only one of the two distinctive towers can be made out as the other is hidden by a common oak (Quercus robur). The Stride is a large outcrop of sandstone rising from Harthill Moor, surrounded by trees such as ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and silver birch (Betula pendula) in and among an old stand of oak. Legend states that Robin Hood strode from one tower to the other, a distance of 15 metres.
