Elder Bush Cave
Elder Bush Cave submitted by stu : SK0978 5488. Access to the cave is relatively straightforward. Follow the path from Thor's Cave round to the back of the hill. The cave is quite high on the crags. Look for a lone Elder bush, the cave entrance is below and a little to the side of the bush. (Vote or comment on this photo)
