- Chris Pearson says...
- Steady walk to the Rods whilst eating a sandwich then a dash back to the car as heavy rain began. No explanation found of these "mysterious" man made pillars. There is a whole web site listing every Robin Hood named place in Britain.
- Summiteer says...
- The Rods are almost certainly the stumps of 9thC wayside crosses, that were probably decapitated during the 'Commonwealth' period in the 1650's, when many religious artifacts where officially sanctioned to be vandalised. Robin Hood is usually associated with Nottinghamshire, but Sherwood Forest formerly extended into Yorkshire and Derbyshire, and more or less merged into the forests that formerly covered most of the Peak District. So not surprising it has so many placenames and local folklore associated with the legendary outlaw
