Good short visit with little effort from Little Langdale. Worth taking a torch, but not essential. Quite wet in initial tunnel.

a wonderful adventure and beautiful place the photos don't do it justice! The only issue which is quite important is the lack of parking anywhere near it, the farmers have blocked the only parking area , if you can work that bit out then the trip is magical. its not suitable for buggies and not suitable is you're wobbly on your feet…

What a gem. Hidden in the hillside of little langdale is a place of real interest. Although i have visited this site many times it never fails to impress.

A must see place and slaters bridge is 10 mins away too. …

My advise to this place is how to find it! Firstly park by Tibthwaite Farm. Note there is no facillities in this area, so be prepared. Walk up past the farm, take the right hand track and follow it round. Its a long walk. Very pretty. follow it round to the left, pass a bridge ( not the stone one called Slater, a different one) . Then pay attention to the paths on your left, looking up the hill. Take the one with the gate accross it and there is a style on the side. Go up the hill and you will see a sign saying Little Langdale Quarries. There you will find the tunnel which goes to the Main Cave. Its wet and dark... be prepared. Also in this area you can explore other caves. Its really interesting. Worth the walk. …

An awe inspiring place and readily accessible on foot. The National Trust could easily have closed it off for safety reasons but have chosen to allow access with a warning sign to take care. There is no danger to those with common sense!
