The artificial pre-historic Giant's Cave (also known as Clutter's Cave / Hermit's Cave / Cave of Glendower / Waum's Cave), on Hangman's Hill along the Malvern Hills ridge which runs along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border.
A story says that the cave was created when a giant threw the Colwall Stone from the edge of Hangman's Hill and that the Giant's footprint can still be seen on British Camp further along the ridge
There is a belief that from the cave the sun can be seen to set on Midsummer's day over Arthur's Stone Neolithic chambered tomb, and that the same day's sun rises over Sunrising Hill in the Cotswolds. There is nothing to block the view of Arthur's Stone from sight looking out of entrance to the cave, but you'd need a clear day and good eyesight. To see the Cotswolds, you'd need to stand on top of the cave.
Excavations found volcanic pillow lava stones around the edges of the cave.
