Legends hang easily upon a place known as the ‘Devil’s Punchbowl’ – the best-known says that it was formed when Wade the Giant scooped up a handful of earth to throw at his wife during an argument. Actually, it was created by a process called spring-sapping, whereby water welling up from the hillside has gradually undermined the slopes above, eating the rocks ral wonders and an nts away grain by grain. Over thousands of years, a once narrow valley has widened and natu cient monume deepened into an enormous cauldron – and the process still continues today. Mike Kipling e prepared for grand landscapes and big views on this North York Moors Bclassic. Starting with the dramatic panorama from Saltergate over the Hole Levisham Moor of Horcum, the 5-mile scenic walk follows a prominent track over Levisham The track across Levisham Moor runs through a landscape Moor, past important archaeological remains. There’s a possible diversion rich in archaeological remains – in fact the moor itself is to the stunning viewpoint of Skelton Tower, after which the route drops into the largest ancient monument in the North York Moors. the rocky ravine of Dundale Griff and returns along the valley to the Hole of Half-hidden in the heather are traces of human occupation Horcum, climbing back out at Saltergate.
