 There are several mine shafts in this area and it is advised that you stick to the marked footpaths.

Great Rock Cave

On the north side of the upper outcrop is this small cave (left image). The Rock itself, which really ought to be a Tor in its own right, is a dramatic set of outcrops that sprawl downhill. There are numerous crevices and cracks in the rocks, and in the one in the right image you can see through to the other side. It is an awe-inspiring place. (MP)
