Cathedral Cave

Distance: 5.57km (3.45 Miles)
Ascent: 226m (741ft)
Duration: 2 Hours

Having just arrived in the lovely Lake District we really wanted to make the most of the day. The weather was set to be pretty poor all day with continuous showers throughout the afternoon so opted for a low level walk through Little Langdale to visit Cathedral Cave.

We parked up near Colwith Force and headed up to see the falls first.
