On the edge above Swythamley, in the Peak District National Park, there is a famous landmark known as the Hanging Stone. The Hanging Stone, a short distance from Lud's Church near Wincle, has spectacular moorland views across to the Roaches and Shutlingsloe as well as lush woodland and drystone-walled pastures. The Hanging Stone bears two plaques. One to Colonel Brocklehurst, who was killed in Burma in 1942 and the other marking the grave of Burke, a bull mastiff and close companion to the Brocklehurst Family of Swythamley Hall. Burke died in 1874 and his epitaph reads: “A noble mastiff, black and tan, Faithfull as woman, braver than man. A gun and a ramble his heart’s desire With the friend of his life the Swythamley Squire.”

A notable landmark, ascend to the edge of this rock and take in the magnificent views of the 3 counties around - on a good day you can almost make out the Welsh hills across the Cheshire Plain (catching the famous Jodrell Bank telescope along the way). Walk further along the path to take in the Roaches. If you are interested in a long walk then you can loop from the huts to hanging stone - Roaches -Meerbrook reservoir and back
