Scenes from North Yorkshire, Yorkshire Dales National Park Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines Index Rambles-ramblers-rambling-walks-walking-footpaths-bridleways The pictures illustrate Walk 26 "ATTERMIRE SCAR" from Collins Rambler's Guide Yorkshire Dales by David Leather. The route takes up above north-east from the town centre of Settle to Jubilee Cave, south below the western craggy limestone slopes of Attermire to Victoria Cave, onto Sugar Loaf Hill and then south-west down Lambert Lane and returning north-west to Settle via Mitchell Lane. Excellent walking and ramble by several caves.

Victoria Cave is the most famous of the caves on the long and beautiful high escarpment of Attermire Scar. Victoria Cave was discovered in 1837, the year of Queen Victoria's coronation - hence the cave's name! It is a most important archaeological site and the finds included bones of spotted hyena, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and straight-tusked elephants in the oldest deposits from 120,000 years ago. Later upper layers revealed a Mesolithic bone harpoon 12,000 years old and on the surface Romano-British pottery, coins, gold and silver jewellery and textile tools form the 2nd to 4th century AD, so the cave had been used as a workshop.
Nice views and a good picnic spot at Victoria Cave.
