Rydal Cave

Type:Viewpoint/Beauty Spot

Rydal, AMBLESIDE, Cumbria, LA22 9SD

About

Rydal Cave is a large cavern on the north side of Loughrigg Fell, above Rydal Water. This famous lakeland beauty spot is actually man-made, as a result of slate quarrying.

Take the stepping stones through the shallow lake at the entrance (you may even see some small fish!) into the drier floor space inside the cave. Remeber to take your torch so you can see where you are stepping.
