    Hiking

    In 1925 this cave was excavated and explorers discovered the remains of “ten individuals, mostly children, two bronze brooches, one penannular bronze brooch, bronze pins, a fragment of bronze chain, nine beads of various types, an antler cheek-piece, and other objects, including Roman, Romano-British and Medieval pottery”. Apparently the cave was later home to a family with 6 children!
