The Companion Stone on Eaglestone Flat
The White Peak Area,
The Peak District National Park,
Derbyshire, England

This is one of 12 matching Companion Stones created to celebrate the ancient Derbyshire Guide Stoops. Each bears and inscription pointing, not to market towns, but towards the future. On this one it says "Canvas all points Graze the azimuth Quit the tide From 1709 to 2008 To see you right" on the north face and "Edge keen to the wind" on the southern face.
