About
Victoria Cave is a large cave entrance in the limestone cliffs above Settle, reached by a walk from the town past Attermire Scar. It is a protected scheduled monument where bones of ancient animals have been found. Signs ask visitors not to go inside, so admire it from the entrance, and expect a steep and sometimes muddy path.
