The Hole of Horcum is a hollow in the valley of Levisham Beck, the hollow is 400 feet deep and stretches 3/4 of a mile across; local legend has it that the amphitheatre was formed when Wade the Giant scooped up a handful of earth to throw at his wife during an argument. This postcard view gives a true impression of the enormity of this hollow. Close to the road between Sleights and Pickering features an impressive incline feared by many drivers.
