    The spring rising in this cave was reportedly used as a water source by the monks of Waverley Abbey. The cave was naturally formed by the spring, but it was later enlarged and made into a grotto. An ironstone arched entrance was later added in Victorian times.

    The cave is the subject of a number of local legends, including that of Mother Ludlam, white witch of Waverley, herbalist and helper of the poor.
