Scaleber Force
We started our trip to Settle with a walk through the countryside called the ‘Settle Loop’. The route took us through woodland, past waterfalls, and up towards some caves, with lots to photograph along the way.
After climbing over a stile, we headed into Scaleber Wood, where the trees were just beginning to turn. We heard the waterfall before we could see it, and I had to peer over the edge to get a glimpse.
I'm not great with heights, so I was pleased to discover that there were steps down to the bottom of the waterfall. From there, you get a much better view of the water tumbling down through the rocks. There were already a few people around Scaleber, including the usual collection of people with massive cameras! But we still managed to stop and admire the waterfall before carrying on.
Further along, we passed through fields, and eventually the caves came into view. We stopped for a picnic on the rocks overlooking them, which made a nice break before exploring further.
The main cave we visited was Victoria Cave. We climbed up to the entrance and ventured inside, where water was trickling down the walls. Jubilee Cave was much smaller and we almost missed it.
