Best Hikes to Cathedral Cavern

Tips

  • Cathedral Cavern is a surprisingly impressive chamber that emerges from the woodland just to the south of Little Langdale. At its centre is a massive pillar that supports the cavern roof, while a dark pool lies to one side.

    While the site is cared for by the National Trust, there's no entrance fee but also no safety features once inside, so take care. Bring a head torch if you want to explore the tunnels.

  • That's an impressive cave. You can do a round trip on the great Slaters Bridge and finally in the "Three Shires Inn".

  • Not much parking space nearby. Advise to park near main road at Skelwith and have a walk to the cave (1.5mi walk each way)
