Stall Moor The Dancers Stone Circle, Cornwood, Dartmoor National Park
Travel around the Westcountry and you'll come across plenty of stone circles named after dancers who were turned to stone. For example, the Nine Maidens Stone Circle is up on Dartmoor's north moor close to the village Belstone. Stall Moor The Dancers Stone Circle is on the south moor at the southern end of the world's longest stone row. It's an extraordinary place that rewards the effort required to experience it.
We've positioned Stall Moor The Dancers Stone Circle on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. To visit, walk up from the Cornwood area or via the car parking area at Harford Moor Gate. Head for Stalldown Stone Row. At the northern end of this row, where the stones are very tall, the moor drops away and you'll see Stall Moor The Dancers Stone Circle in the distance. Walk across difficult and boggy terrain to get there. Alternatively, you can follow the track/road that runs up the western side of the River Erme in Piles Valley to Piles Valley Weir. From there, it's a shorter yomp to the stone circle but the terrain is still boggy and difficult.
As mentioned, Stall Moor The Dancers Stone Circle is at the southern end of the longest stone row in the world. You can walk a section, or all, of this. See our Stall Moor Stone Row listing for detail.
