Cateran Hole, Natural cave in Bewick Moor, Northumberland, England.
The Cateran Hole extends 40 meters into Bewick Moor through a narrow passage between two large planes of Gritstone that close in from above.
Dating back centuries, the cave features stone carvings from 1765 and multiple initials etched into its walls, marking generations of visitors to this location.
The name Cateran derives from raiders who operated in the borderlands, with local tales suggesting its use as a secret storage space for contraband.
Visitors need to navigate six steep stone steps to enter the cave, and proper lighting equipment is necessary due to the dark, narrow interior passages.
The cave contains a mysterious handwritten message accompanied by tealights, referencing hidden treasures and directions written in cryptic language.
