    This tunnel-like cave is on the footpath around Buttermere. It is about 50 feet (15 m) long. A torch is useful as there are deep puddles inside in the pitch-black cave.

      A lot of fun for kids (you can often hear laughter echoing through the tunnel). Watch out for big puddles in the darkness!
