Spectacular show cave reached by the pretty mile-and-a-half nature trail up the wooded valley from Clapham village. Unusually for a show cave, well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on the trail, inside the cave itself and in the Old Sawmill Cafe, and there is no charge for the dog. Guided tours run along a concrete floodlit path past 350-million-year-old formations.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.

Four and a half miles in around two hours, up the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail past the lake and the Farrer plantings to the show cave, then into the dry limestone gorge of Trow Gill, returning over the fields by Clapdale Farm. Good gravel track for the first mile with a modest gradient, rougher and rockier through the gill; start from the National Park car park in Clapham, and note that the nature trail is a private toll path with a small charge collected at the gate. Dogs are welcome on the estate and even inside Ingleborough Cave, but the trail is on the lead, sheep graze the higher fields, and Gaping Gill and the smaller open shafts on the moor above are unfenced holes a running dog would not survive.
AA five-star inn in the Three Peaks village of Clapham, the classic base for the walk up Ingleborough. Dogs are properly welcome, with treats and water always on hand by the fire and in the gardens, and they even sell doggy beer. Eighteen individually styled rooms make it a good overnight stop too.
Nobody has written one for Ingleborough Cave. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
