Cathedral Cave & Hodge Close Quarry // The Lake District

There are two perfect places to go for a stroll on a wet and windy day in the Lake District: Cathedral Cave and Hodge Close Quarry. On this day the forecast was for wind and rain so this location seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Turns out, the weather forecasters got it wrong.....again!

Never mind, It's never a dull moment in these places and I was also joined once again by Dina so we had some good laughs and enjoyed exploring the caves before the crowds appeared. And we managed to fit in a traditional Lakeland pub in the middle. Perfect!

All-in-all, a highly recommended day out for the family!
