Sherwood Foresters Regiment Memorial
This is perhaps the most famous landmark in Derbyshire and is
situated over 340 metres above sea level. The Stand is the
memorial of the Sherwood Foresters Regiment, dedicated to the
Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment and the Mercian
Regiment.
The spiral staircase with fifty-eight steps takes the visitor to
the viewing gallery from where, on clear days, visitors can pick
out 7 counties and various landmarks over the surrounding
countryside.
