• A small but striking natural arch carved by erosion in a gritstone outcrop. • Dimensions: • Span: ~3–4 meters wide • Height: ~2 meters at center • Thickness: ~1 meter • Formed over thousands of years by frost weathering and water seepage along joints in the rock. • Overgrown with moss, ferns, and small trees — blends perfectly into the woodland

I would respectfully note that this cave is not the easiest to access. https://delta-exploits.net/

Path to the entrance is usually flooded so worth wearing appropriate footwear.

The Delf is a natural valley that runs south from the idyllic Peak District village of Eyam. A short way down it is Cucklet Delf (which I’ve also seen spelt ‘Cucklett’ or ‘Delph’), a beautiful limestone craglet that forms a cavern with two large arches. From 1666, the larger of two archways became the pulpit for the twenty-seven-year-old village rector, William Mompesson. From here, he could preach into the valley and be heard by his congregation, gathered in disparate family groups on the opposite hillside. Throughout the outbreak of the plague, this crag — and, in fact, this whole section of the Delf — became the Cucklet Church.

Lathkill Head Cave is a cavern within the limestone of the gorge that forms Lathkill Dale, in the White Peak area of the Peak District, in Derbyshire. The cave mouth is found to the east of Monyash. In wet weather, the water trickling in innumerable rills into the cave creates a stream gushing forth from its mouth to form the River Lathkill, whence the name of the cave. In dry weather the headwater of the river is formed from the springs a little below. The rocks here are fissured and complex. Cavers have found a number of entrances into the cave which are explored by the fearless.

Deep Dale is a nature reserve that’s full of character, packed with beauty and affords a delightful sense of solitude. As the grassland’s underlying rock is carboniferous limestone, the reserve is home to many wonderful species of wildflowers. Spring and summer are the best times for insect and wildflower displays but it’s a wonderful place to explore at any time of year. There are also caves within the dale.

Also referred to as Cucklet Church - this is the site that was used as an alternative to the Village church during the plague outbreak of 1665.

Such a beautiful walk dottted with an industrial history
