DID YOU KNOW. Crich Stand War Memorial
Built in 1923, to commemorate the loss of 11,410 men of the Sherwood Foresters Regiment of the British Army during the First World War, on the site of an older tower called Crich Stand.
It is 1,000 feet above sea level, and has 58 steps to the top. From there on clear days eight counties can be seen, including landmarks such as the Humber Bridge and Lincoln Cathedral.Crich Stand War Memorial

My wife and I pulled in there while out motorcycling, it was open for visitors and we followed an old man into the building, it was quite frustrating following him so slowly up the steps, with regular stops to get his breath, it was a relief when we reached the top to see the spectacular views, on looking round I saw the old man crying, and on asking him if he was alright, he explained that this monument was his first job as a young lad, he was the tea boy and general dogsbody on the site during the building of the monument and he wanted to climb it one last time before his demise, we had a whole new respect for the chap and helped him on his descent back down the steps, sadly he will be long gone now, but I've always remembered this good old Boy !
Recently cycled up there. Amazing views from the top.
The view from the top!
We did a walk recently that went past the tower, just a shame it was locked up but the views were amazing. You can watch the video here youtu.be/hBKQ-Gwt6mg

❤️ The Barrel. Many an evening spent there. Gavin Davis, good times eh?
There are pictures inside the pub taken by Jack Bricklebank in the 1960s showing snow as deep as a double decker bus
Great place and wonderful views. We had a fab walk from Eyam to this pub.
We went to the Barrel Inn, for years on Boxing Day, hot roast pork sandwiches, it nearly always snowed. Wonderful family memories 💕💕💕
A bit spooky as I was discussing this pub earlier today,a great view from up here and they do lovely food 😊
Feeling home sick. Snow and all. Still getting over Bush fires and floods here in Sydney NSW
Stayed next door but had a meal in there last year. Absolutely superb.

They look quite unfazed by it all, at least they have thick coats to keep them warm, awesome 😃😃
Born and bred in Derbyshire, living in Lincolnshire, the yellow bellies have no idea what snow really is!
