The Hole of Horcum also known as the Devil’s Punchbowl is a spectacular natural amphitheatre scooped out of Levisham Moor. Legend says that the hole was formed when the giant Wade grabbed a handful of earth to throw at his wife Bell.
Reality suggests however that it was created over millennia by glacial meltwater. The path around the hole is on an earthwork dyke, which denotes a prehistoric boundary. This is an 6 mile (10km) 3.5 hour circular walk that combines the Hole of Horcum/Levisham circular walk. For this walk we meet at the Hole of Horcum carpark situated on the A169.
Walk Yorkshire's dark skies events are open to everyone over 12 years old. The walk will include a section on how to navigate using the stars.
