Thor's Cave is a breathtaking natural limestone cavern located in the Manifold Valley, near the village of Wetton. Its impressive entrance, set high on a cliff face, offers amazing views of the valley below, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
The Cave is easily accessible from nearby villages such as Wetton and Alstonefield and can be reached by a well-marked footpath, which includes a steep climb up to the entrance. The hike to the cave is moderately challenging but rewards visitors with stunning scenery along the way.
From the cave entrance, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Manifold Valley. The view is particularly stunning in autumn when the surrounding trees display a vibrant array of colors."

"No need to drive anywhere, the campsite has a footpath directly to Thor's cave!
This is a must see for the amazement of the size and views from this cave. If you click the OS map, it will give you a way to go and a rough time estimate of the walk. Please note this is one way, the walk is not circular and you should follow the same route back.
A word of warning: it can get quite muddy and slippery so wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit dirty, especially if it has recently rained.
If you are staying at the Airbnb or don't fancy a long walk then there is a car park a short walk away from Thor's cave called Wetton Car Park on Carr Lane. This is free and has toilets available. "
