Access to the cave is relatively straightforward. Follow the path from Thor's Cave round to the back of the hill. The cave is quite high on the crags. Look for a lone Elder bush, the cave entrance is below and a little to the side of the bush.

Sevenways Cave
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Sevenways Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2006. This is the most picturesque view from one of the many ways into the cave.
Seven Ways cave - so named because of 7+ entrances into it. Sited above and to the west of Thor's Cave, it is accessed by returning to the path just before the last descent to access Thor's Cave, and then heading up! Be careful - the drops come up unexpectedly, and there are some *big* drops. Also minor shafts and limestone fissures are not infrequent, so consider your route to avoid a smaller fall.
Human remain...

Saint Bertram's Cave
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Saint Bertram's Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Aug 2006. A view of the cave opening, with hole to wider fissure beyond. Speaking with a Brummie chap who's been coming to the area for some time, and my having left the area, his description of the cave I found didn't match. However, even the Trent & Peak Archaeological Trust couldn't agree on which cave here was the lynx cave in notes on the NMR - so it appears uncertainty is the name of the game.
