Limestone Pavement

Limestone pavement - is that a cave near the right - Have a look!

Limestone Pavement near Kirkby Lonsdale

Just outside the boundary of the Lake District National Park are large areas of Limestone. The outcrops at Farleton, Birkrigg and Hutton Roof have formed into classic limestone pavement through the effect of rain and weather.

A few miles away lies the exciting caving and potholing region of North Yorkshire.

(You can often find caves under limestone pavement - look carefully is there a cave here?)
