Nowhere in Britain will you find an area with such varied landscape, such a richness of wildlife and such a wealth of cultural heritage as in the Peak District
The very special qualities of the area are well known to the people who live in the towns and cities that surround the Peak District but for visitors from further away, whether from Britain or abroad, the magic is just waiting to be discovered.- Extract from Peak District National Park Website.

Wetton village, situated in the Peak National Park, is a good base to explore the surrounding area. It is a pleasant stone built village standing high above Wetton Mill in the Manifold valley.

Thor's Cave is probably one of the most spectacular sights of the Manifold valley, dominating the central section of the valley. The rock in which it is set rears up out of the hillside. The cave entrance itself forming a hole in it ten metres in diameter, a sight which is clearly visible for several miles.Excavations have shown that the cave was occupied as long as 10,000 years ago and this occupation probably continued until Roman or Saxon times, making it one of the oldest sites of human activity in the Peak. Stone tools and the remains of a range now extinct animals were found within the cave. Some of these remains can be seen in Buxton Museum.
