Sevenways Cave

Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Sevenways Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2006. This is the most picturesque view from one of the many ways into the cave.
Seven Ways cave - so named because of 7+ entrances into it. Sited above and to the west of Thor's Cave, it is accessed by returning to the path just before the last descent to access Thor's Cave, and then heading up! Be careful - the drops come up unexpectedly, and there are some *big* drops. Also minor shafts and limestone fissures are not infrequent, so consider your route to avoid a smaller fall.

Elder Bush Cave submitted by stu on 23rd Sep 2004. 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.

The roadside situation of St Helen's Well, just up the road from The Royal Oak, past the "Rushton" sign, immediately after the property named "Spring Bank" (bit of a giveaway!) on the right. Some steps lead down to a deep chamber, if not overgrown!

Ipstones tympanum
Date Added: 27th Sep 2015
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Ipstones tympanum submitted by astronomer on 29th Dec 2009. The Ipstone tympanum contains several devices, the elaborate scroll-work and the knotted tails of the beasts that suggest a Saxon origin with Viking Northumbrian overtones. There is a similar, early Saxon, carving 25 miles away at Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire. Both Ipstones and Breedon are within the political catchment of English Mercia, whose capital at Repton was contested by the Vikings.
