Beautiful views

So peaceful and the views are beautiful, extremely well maintained. £1.50 to park the car, money in a honesty box and 20p to walk up the tower. Our daughter loves visiting and asks questions about the soilders plaques and poppies, so well worth while.

A fantastic view on a good day

We have walked up to "The Stand" several times while in the area. There are helpful display boards and it is well worth going to the top if it is open, although the view from the bottom is pretty good.

Great 360 degree view of beautiful Derbyshire

A good place for photography and to gain a sense of perspectives from where you are in the landscape. The area within the memorial is carefully maintained.

Not a problem. A steep climb up to the tower and of course steep spiral staircase up the tower its self.
