The Druids Cave is an ancient place located in Birchover, England.

Part of the area has been used since the Bronze Age, and the nearby village of Birchover is even mentioned in old books from the 10th century, so there is a lot of history in the area.

The carvings on the rocks near to the cave are from a local priest, Reverend Thomas Eyre, who was also a druid.

He spent a lot of time at the rocks writing, and many say he also did witchcraft at the site in the 17th century.

Two of the caves that have been carved in the rock were carved by a man named Thomas Eyre, who claimed he wanted to impress his friends.

There are quite a few carved names from the early 1800s on some of the rocks in the forest area.

The terrain is very steep in places, so going slow and watching where you walk is a must.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
