The Cork Stone Stanton Moor

I visited Stanton Moor in England this week. The area is quite popular, as there are a few ancient stone circle sites there dating to the Bronze Age.

While at the moor, I climbed the Cork Stone. This stone is quite popular as it is like a beacon for the land. It is only around 15 feet high, but falling from that height would cause some broken bones.

The Cork Stone has been standing on the moor for a long time, as it is a natural stone monolith. There is even some graffiti on the back of the stone from the 1800s.

In the early 19th century, metal handles were added to the front of the stone so people could climb up to the top and admire the view of the land.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
