The Hole of Horcum
Also known as the Devil's Punchbowl, legend has it that the giant Wade and his wife Bell had a massive argument and in temper he picked up a fistful of soil (the Hole of Horcum) and then threw it at his wife, missing her, whereby it landed and formed Blakey Ridge.
On the southern boundary of the North Yorkshire Moors, the Hole of Horcum is a natural amphitheatre a quarter of a mile wide, a mile long and 400 feet deep.
