It was a spur of the moment decision to do this and in the end it turned out to be a smash and grab there and back walk to Thors cave from Wetton Mill. I now know how to get there and what the parkig situation is so next time I'll do a bigger walk.
I had a bit of a wander around before starting the walk. I parked a Wetton Mill car park and then realized that it wasn't a public car park , so I went back to fetch the van and moved it to a nearby layby. I then had a wander up the hill behind Wetton Mill to enjoy the view before descending back and starting the walk.
The walk was starightforward with a steep but good path to climb up to the cave.

Meg didn't want to come any further - the rocks were steep and slippy |

I,ll definitely be back for another walk in this area. Only 4 miles on this visit. OS OL24
