Hiking

The Hopestone is a natural gritstone outcrop on Park Lane between Ipstones and Foxt. It is a natural rock outcrop vaguely resembling the head of a man. It may be the 'upper stone' or 'yppe' which is referred to in the origin of the name Ipstones" (Tim Cockin: The Staffordshire Encyclopaedia).
