The Cork Stone is one of a number of natural stone pillars on Derbyshire’s Stanton Moor. It is a well-known landmark, a piece of weathered sandstone that has stood for thousands of years, eroded into a mushroom shape resembling an enormous cork. It is covered in graffiti dating from at least the 19th century and has step holes cut out of one side to facilitate climbing to the top. Metal rods were added later, possibly in Victorian times according to a nearby information board. There is a hollow bowl on top of the stone.
There is no postcode. The address is for guidance only. The Cork Stone will be found a short distance from a lay-by and information board on the east side of Birchover Road.
