Lying in the western Peak District the Manifold Valley is a place of open-ness and dramatic beauty. The Manifold Valley Trail follows the course of a disused railway track from Waterhouses in the south to Hulme End in the north. At the mid point of the valley the imposing shape of Thor's Cave gapes darkly from an outcrop of grey limestone almost 300 feet above the river bed.
