Sited 360ft above the floor of the Manifold Valley, Thor's Cave is one of the most spectacular features in the Peak District.
The entrance to the cave is c.32ft (10m) high and 24ft (7.5m) wide, an easy scramble, polished by countless visitors'' boots over the years, leads to a large cathedral-like cavern.
Most walkers set off from Wetton, heading west towards the cavem (see link below) although there is a very limited amount of parking spaces in the village.

There is an alternative option of approaching Thor's Cave from the south, there is a small layby on the Manifold Way, that can accommodate a handful of cars, but is less than a mile away from the foot of the the cave.
Known as a karst cave, the grotto has been formed by the slow action of water dissolving the limestone over countless millennia.
Archaeological excavations, including two major digs in 1864-65 and 1927-35, have uncovered evidence of human habitation stretching back at least 10,000 years. Up to seven burial sites and stone tools, pottery, beads and bronze items have been discovered.
As with most limestone crags, Thor's Cave is home to over 20 climbing routes; 'Twilight of the Tired God' and 'Escape to Valhalla' are some of the most colourful names on this Norse-influenced landmark.
