Robin Hood's Stride, Rock formation in Harthill, United Kingdom

The natural gritstone formation consists of two prominent pinnacles situated on Hartle Moor, reaching a height of 251 meters above sea level.

The first documented mention of this geological structure dates to 1817, although earlier drawings of the area exist without explicitly naming it.

The formation received its name from the legend that the English folk character Robin Hood demonstrated his physical prowess by jumping between the two stone pillars.

Visitors can access the site via the Limestone Way off the B5056 road, with limited parking spaces available along the nearby unclassified road.

The formation bears the alternative name Mock Beggar's Hall due to its silhouette resembling a manor house with two chimneys at each end.
