Description:

White Scar Cave is the longest show cave in Britain. There are underground waterfalls and streams, and thousands of stalactites. The curious cave formations include the Devil's Tongue, the Arum Lily, and the remarkably lifelike Judge's Head. Guides lead visitors along the well-lit paths and explain the features. The highlight of the tour is the 200,000 year old Battlefield Cavern, which is decorated with thousands of stalactites. Over 330 feet long, with its roof soaring in places to 100 feet, this is one of the largest caverns in Britain.

The visitor centre has an eco-friendly turf roof, and an alpine-style café with views over the Dales to the sea. The shop stocks fine rock and mineral specimens, jewellery, and much more besides. White Scar Cave has a spectacular location in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, yet it is only 17 miles from the M6 motorway.
