The Peak Cavern, also known as the Devil's Arse because of the flatulent-sounding noises from inside the cave when flood water is draining away, Castleton, Derbyshire, England. The cave system is the largest in the Peak District, and the main entrance is the largest cave entrance in Britain. Until 1915, the cave was home to some of Britain's last troglodytes, who lived in houses built inside the cave mouth and made a living from rope making, while the depths of the cave was apparently a haven for bandits.
