Description: Beyond Wetton Mill in the Manifold Valley, Thor's Cave comes into view. This is a huge cave in a prominent spur high above the valley, which can be seen for miles around.This is a huge cave in a prominent spur high above the valley, which can be seen for miles around. This cave displays some remarkable features: the arch is symmetrical, 30 feet high and 23 feet wide, and the roof is supported by massive limestone columns deep in the interior. To facilitate entrance, since the cave opening is 250 feet above the road, steps have been built; and the cave, which is the most attractive feature of Manifold Valley (running almost parallel with Dovedale), may be reached from Ilam or from Wetton. The cave has yielded many objects of archaeological interest which show it was inhabited by both early man and prehistoric animals but it is now primarily an object of interest to tourists, who scramble to its entrance, climb through it and admire the view from the spur above the cave. A poor man called Titterton Mycock, fell from here in a state of inebriation in 1825, and was dashed to pieces on the rocks below. (The cave was used to film Ken Russell's version of the 'Lair of the White Worm' by Bram Stoker).
