Robin Hood's Stride (also known as Mock Beggar's Mansion) is a rock formation on the Limestone Way in Derbyshire close to Bakewell, between Harthill Moor and the Alport–Winster road. It consists of gritstone boulders deeply seamed by water flows. Limited short climbing is possible; nearby Cratcliffe Tor provides more serious routes. The two "pinnacles" are Weasel pinnacle (eastern end; Diff) and Inaccessible pinnacle (west; V Diff). Nearby is a four-stone circle and, at Cratcliffe Tor, a rock shelter known as the Hermit's Cave.[1]

Robin Hood's Stride features in an episode of The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the 1987 film The Princess Bride.
