Situated near Ambleside on the grounds of a former slate quarry, Rydal Cave is a dramatic man-made cavern featuring stepping stones that cross shallow water to reach a dry interior. Reached by scenic walking trails through the woodland, the route offers striking views over Rydal Water and the neighbouring fells.
