Trail to Peak Cavern (formerly "The Devil's Arse")

Highlight • Cave

Path off the road is not well marked, there is an old finger post but it has lost all writing, path is narrow and squeezed between a house and a wall.

Winnats Pass is a tough climb out of Castleton through a dramatic limestone cleft. It starts off relatively gently, but gets steeper as you near the top.

The road can get busy with traffic, so take care when going down.
