Ingleborough Cave
"Ingleborough Cave, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, was first discovered in 1837 by brave Victorian explorers who drained away a lake and went on to discover 1/2km of previously unexplored passages delving deep beneath Ingleborough mountain with only candles to guide them! Today, the cave is well lit, and you can follow in the footsteps of those pioneers on an awe-inspiring voyage of discovery! A concrete footpath leads visitors past breath-taking stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones, as you journey through a kilometre of passages brought to life by formations and artefacts dating back millions of years!"

Totally Awesome! The Hike up is about 2 miles, easily done but bring a drink. The trail to the cave has some really nice views and history. Once at the cave there is a very small shop offering snacks and drinks. The staff are really friendly and good with the kids. The cave itself is a really nice its well lit, wheelchair/ Pushchair/ dog friendly and a great adventure. I would pack a jumper as its quite chilly in the cave. Once you return from the cave and trail there is a nice little Cafe either at the entrance to the trail or the nearby car park.
This is a nice cave system. There are low tunnels but luckily you will be provided with hard hats. The cave is very popular with school trips, which led my party to not fully see the last chamber as it was filled with children. The walk to the cave is nice, with a lovely waterfall, remember to bring change for the toll path £2.50 adults £1 children, the machine doesn't give change.
Our first time visit to ‘any caves’. Well maintained, a great walk towards the cave and experience itself was fascinating. The couple who runs the cave coffee shop were really polite. We were the last ones before the person locked the cave and he was a treat to listen to. He showed the children fossils and also gave a brief history. Truly enjoyable as this is coming from someone who is generally claustrophobic! After our experience we sat on the picnic bench for a snack while the children enjoyed the stream. Great family activity.
Very impressive caves and well worth a visit! Self guided tour but we did bump into one of the guides, John, while we were in there and he answered all of our questions and was very engaging. Would definitely visit again.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Interesting cavern to visit and explore for adults and for kids as well. The caverns is not so long to explore, just be cautious in some places the ceilings is quite low so mind your head. Price for the ticket is quite fair as well only 10.50 pounds for adult, and 5 pounds for kids if i'm not mistaken . I think it's quite nice place to have a little adventure and exploration with your families and friends. My verdict - 8/10.
Incredible show cave. Go early I was the first through the door for a very eerie experience of walking through the cave alone. I caught up with the guide at the end of the cave and, as a caving enthusiast, she told me all sorts of stuff about the area's geology, what it means for cavers, how the various systems may or may not connect and a fair bit about the local history. She pointed out fossils and strange reflections in the water. I was there for an hour. A thoroughly absorbing morning. Buy your ticket at the bottom of the hill from the ticket office. It combines the trail up the hill and entrance to the cave.
It's a 2k walk on a good track to Ingleborough cave. Tours normally leave every hour on the hour, but when we visited on 1st March, we were given an instruction sheet which explained adequately what each of the chambers was called. We were also given a hard hat, which is very important as the ceiling is very low in places, meaning you need to crouch and duck your head at the same time! The cave tour lasted about 45 minutes and was about 500metres in length. It was well lit with all the major features being highlighted. Our two dogs accompanied us, but obviously had to be held on leads.
Not to be missed if you're in the area. The roof of the cave has fossils of shells from the equator. It's amazing to think that you can be in Yorkshire standing under rock that used to form part if the seabed near the equator.
Lovely 'little' gem on the Nature Walk path, on our way up to Gaping Gill. The compulsory provided hard hats are a must, I'm 5'4" and had to bend almost double in some areas, hubby 6'4" and had a trickier time but managed it. It's a self guided tour with information sheet and numbered stations along the pathway, we were told to take our time, no rush. Some beautiful features and sounds throughout. £10.50 entry
Really interesting visit. You get some info as self guided tour and the kids really enjoyed it. There’s also a really picturesque walk up to there and beyond which I would highly recommend if visiting this part of the Dales
