Over on the border between Worcestershire
and Staffordshire is a small village named Kinver. Overlooking the village is a
series of rocks known as Kinver Edge, a series of red sandstone rocks with a
flat mound at the top for farmland and walking. Within the rocks is a series of
caves which have been carved into homes over time. It’s now owned by the
National Trust and makes for a perfect visit. Within the caves are paintings
from the early settlers and living amenities that are fairly modern. There’s
also a history of the local area; and volunteers are on hand to tell the tale
of the people who once lived there. The cave houses have offered shelter to
many; from local tradesmen who were originally just passing through to
travelling gypsies with very large families. At the top is a tea shop with
perfect views of the village. Prices are reasonable but it’ll be a bit cramped
if you’re looking for somewhere to sit.
