Woodhouse Eaves Cave.

This is the remains of an old quarry called 'The Stone Hole' above the rock face you may notice the top of the church tower, this church was built from the stone from this quarry. In the right-hand corner of the rock face is the entrance to a man-made cave that was created by mining the slate from here as it was of decent quality and easily worked.

You could easily miss this if you’re not paying attention. There is a sign by the path giving you some info, and a short (really short!) walk to see the entrance to the cave. Not life-changing, but certainly worth a quick look. Quite impressive.
