The Hole of Horcum also known as the Devil’s Punchbowl is a spectacular natural amphitheatre scooped out of Levisham Moor, that only gets better under the starry night skies we will explore. 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 under the International Dark Sky Reserve. For this walk we meet at the Hole of Horcum carpark situated on the A169.
