Amazing series of caves in Langcliffe Scar above Settle. Discovered in 1837, the cave was found to contain fossils dating back 130,000 years ago from animals including mammoths, hippo, spotted hyenas, bears and reindeer. Later deposits dated after the last ice age found a harpoon head carved from antler and flint tools, a material that doesn't naturally occur in the area.
