A short out-and-back through working farmland to Duddo’s prehistoric stone circle. Five weathered sandstone pillars stand on a low rise, with open views across the surrounding countryside. The mapped route follows the signed permissive approach from the roadside entrance, visits the stones and nearby interpretation board, then returns the same way.
The return distance is approximately 2.5 km. Allow around an hour of walking, plus time at the stones; this is an estimate. The grassy path may be muddy and the site is exposed to the weather. Stay on the permitted path, keep clear of crops and farm operations, and do not climb the stones. No step-free or all-weather access is promised.
Access is by the estate’s permission, not an unrestricted public right of way. Visit in daylight, keep dogs on leads, take litter home and obey current notices at the entrance, including any closure. A landowner notice recorded in 2019 stated that the path closes on the first Monday in February. The current estate webpage does not confirm whether that annual condition still applies: avoid that day unless current estate notices confirm access.
The start is the signed southern path entrance beside the minor road west of Duddo, not a village-centre car park. Parking is limited roadside verge space; use it only where permitted and leave gates, passing places and the narrow lane clear. Do not assume space will be available or park across farm access.
