Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow

• Daylight only, and give yourself time to enjoy the views rather than arriving at dusk
• Low sun makes the bank, ditch and fallen slabs read much more clearly
• The site is high and fully exposed, so wind and weather hit hard. Bring a windproof layer even on mild days
• No facilities on site. The nearest public toilets and cafe are at Parsley Hay, just over a mile west
• Dogs on leads are welcome, but keep them under close control. Livestock may be grazing the fields, so give animals a wide berth and be ready to walk around them
• Clear days repay the trip most, since much of the appeal is the long view in every direction

Access is from the track to Upper Oldhams Farm off Long Rake, near Monyash. There is a small parking area on that track. From there it is roughly a 300-metre walk through fields, with gates or stiles along the way, and the route passes through a working farmyard on private land. A small contribution for access is customary.

There is no public right of way to the monuments, so keep to the field walk, close gates behind you and treat the farm as someone's workplace.
