White Scar Caves
September 2025

A trip to White Scar Caves.

White Scar Caves was first explored in August 1923 by two amateur geologists, Christopher Long and J.H. Churchill, but there have been further discoveries since then, including “The Battlefield”, one of the largest known cave chambers in Great Britain at 90 metres (300 ft) long. Originally accessed through a vertical boulder choke, an access tunnel has been cut to include it on the visitor trail.

A lovely, long, drive through the dales near to Ingleton, there is a large, at this time, a fairly busy car park here by the Cave entrance.

You pay at a kiosk by the cave entrance and are guided through the caves by a Tour Guide after donning a hardhat.



A reminder by the entrance that the caves can flood.



The paths are metal walkways and can get wet and a bit slippery.





On a few locations there are items of interest, some with dummies.





And very colourful lighting.
