Thor's Cave

Highlight • Cave

The views alone are worth the trek up, especially those past the cave and up at the cloud. You'll need a buddy to help you scramble the last section into the cave entrance if you're attempting it on a rainy/snowy day - it gets very slippery.

Wetton Hill

A gently rising hill to get started on the path to more vigorous running, you could even make a day of this area as there are so many other things to see and do here.
