Nan Tor cave is perched above Wetton Mill Farm and the tearooms.

When excavated, Nan Tor was found to contain a wide array of prehistoric material including a human skeleton, Neolithic pottery, flint tools and arrowheads from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age, bone tools, animal bones, pendants and later finds up to the Medieval period.

Hiking

Very nice little cave with an open top and great views in the valley. Also a good cafe in the farm buildings just below the cave so it makes a great stop for a drink or a bite to eat during longer walks.
