More about this scene
A closer view of the massive entrance to Peak Cavern, said to be the largest cave entrance in Britain. Clearly visible are the wooden, gibbet-like frames used by the rope makers who made their home inside the cave entrance for hundreds of years. This was the famed 'village which never saw the sun'.
