    The Hole of Horcum is a 120 m deep, 1.2 km wide natural amphitheatre sunk into the valley of Levisham Beck. Legend has it that it was created by a giant grabbing a handful of earth to throw at his wife. It’s actually created by spring sapping - erosion of the bedrock by underground water, which then causes collapse. This repeated process causes the hole.
