Robin Hood's Stride is the name of a formation of broken gritstone rocks on Hartle Moor close to the village of Elton. There is a pinnacle at either end of the formation, that to the west being known as the Weasel pinnacle and that to the east as the Inaccessible pinnacle.[1] The formation is said to owe its name to the belief that the distance between the two pinnacles was equal to the length of Robin Hood's step or stride.[2] The alternative name of Mock Beggar's Hall is due to the general resemblance of the entire formation to a hall (manor house) with each pinnacle as a "chimney" at either end of the "building". The name Robin Hood's Stride is first recorded in an 1819 enclosure award.[3] As Kenneth Cameron notes in one of the English Place-Name Society volumes on Derbyshire, this and all other Robin Hood-related place-names in Derbyshire are first recorded at a late date.[4]
Robin Hood's Stride is a popular tourist attraction.

Discussion
- Ackerley, Fred G. 'Robin Hood's Stride', Notes & Queries, Series 10, vol. II (1904), p. 246; suggests the hill was used as a fort in prehistoric times, possibly connected with the nearby "Castle Ring" site.
