The SKULL CAVE and Hodge Close Quarry Wild Camp Lake District

Published 2024-07-28
Dubbed the scariest cave in the UK, I couldn't resist exploring! Hodge Close Quarry in the Lake District is home to both Cathedral Cave and Skull Cave - the reflection in the water looks like a skull when you turn it around which is why people call it the scariest cave in the UK. Great place for diving too with underwater caverns to explore!

    This is one of my favourite areas of the Lakes. I came across that camp last time I was there and was disgusted with the state of the place. Several fire pits, rubbish left around and trees axed down with trees partly damaged. It's a shame some people spoil it for the rest of us by not sticking to the leave no trace ethos.
  • Did you know there are a couple of goldfish living in the pool Kat......I saw them when I was there :-)
  • Love your channel love the content such a lovely lady ๐Ÿ˜xx
