Ingleborough Cave - Lancaster

Jake SCOC

Loved it. We went on Thursday and there wasn't many people there. Very cool in the caves with a clear running stream alongside the path. The path itself is concrete and suitable for buggies and wheelchairs. Dogs are also allowed but must be well behaved and kept on a lead. A few bits worth noting, it's about a 2km walk from the entrance of the Ingleborough Estate to the caves. This takes you through the beautiful nature trail and the path is uphill going to the caves but is well maintained. At the caves you're given hard hats. Some points inside the caves the ceiling is low and you will need to stoop for periods of about 50 yards. Highly recommend though.

Long walk up from Clapham village but worth every step. Beautiful show cave that you walk through and end up 500 metres under ground. Low ceilings in places but hard hats provided so all good. Staff friendly and on hand for questions and queries. Amazing formations of stalagmites and stalactites and the different colours formed by the different elements in the water's. Little shop with basic souvenirs and refreshments.

To be honest, I didn't understand why I should pay about 16 pounds per person for "a cave" but I couldn't be more wrong!
This cave is breathtaking, and the size is surprising!
The self-guided tour is interesting and helpful to spot the amazing things in the cave.

Bring some warmer clothes if you come during the summer (the cave is colder than outside).

You will find a small snacks and hot drinks shop with some souvenirs at the entrance to the cave.

Very interesting; like others, I was dubious about the value for money, but very glad we went for it.

It's a reasonable walk from the dar park to the cave entrance along a good path, past an artificial lake and along the path of a river.. Our visit was in autumn, so the tree colours were magnificent; the grounds have old planted rhododendron and Acer trees, so guessing spring is also colourful

The dog was allowed in (on a lead). The dog was initially nervous though, and seemed to sense that caves are best avoided, but was happy enough to go along once we got moving... something to consider if your dog is especially nervous.

Hard hats were provided (and needed). There's no crawling or anything, but you'll need to stoop down in places. It wasn't particularly claustrophobic for us, and no tight squeezes through gaps

It was quiet when we visited and had a good atmosphere; I think if it had been busy then it wouldn't have been nearly such a good experience.

Entrance had a very small cafe fur drinks/snacks.

Think our visit took about 50 minutes from ebtry to exit; it's a 'in and our' route along a good solid path from the cave entrance. It's a steady low temperature (think they said 9 degrees) so dress appropriately. Water does drip from the ceiling.

I'd highly recommend walking on past the cave as well; paths up to the cave were excellent; beyond the cave they were muddy, but scenery was brilliant. Walking brochure is available from the ticket office; it's not a very good map, but has enough direction and paths are well worn.

Ingleborough Cave and trails truly exceeded all my expectations! The journey up to the cave was like walking through a dream with its lovely lake, verdant trees, captivating waterfalls, and Aunt Bessie's grotto adding even more magic to the experience. Once inside the caves, I found myself in awe of nature's artistry displayed through intricate stalactites and breathtaking formations. As someone on the taller side, navigating through some areas with low ceilings required a bit of caution but added a fun adventure element to it. On our way back down by following along the riverbank overlooking beautiful hills and fields before stumbling upon that quaint little church made this entire trip simply unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking beauty in nature's wonders!

The cave is well worth visiting. Some massive stalagmites. 500 metre easy walk of a beautiful underground world. Interesting guide will point out the fossils and with a small river running through you get pools of water with the cave ceiling reflected in them. This area of England has lots of natural attractions to explore so would definitely recommend as a tourist to put it on your to do list.

Went there today for the first time. Always driven past it but never visited. I took my kids and they really enjoyed it. Very breathtaking and an amazing place.

The walk is easy for every one . We did go in cave but only half way I did not like having to walk bent over for while . But was OK suppose for those go in all the way was OK for money
