O.S. Grid Ref:- SD 712745.
White Scar Cave, situated just outside the village of Ingleton is the longest show cave in Britain. A spectacular natural cave in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
See underground streams and waterfalls, thousands of stalactites, and the massive 200.000-year-old Battlefield Cavern.
The cave’s history is a long one. It began with the laying down of limestone deposits, which millions of years later were hollowed out by the action of water. Much later still, in 1923, the cave entered human history with its discovery by Christopher Long.
The 1 mile guided tour takes 80 minutes, with paths and lighting throughout.
