Jingling Geordie's Hole, Cave near Tynemouth Castle, England
The rectangular entrance of this cave faces King Edward's Bay, with a narrow opening between the cliff and castle wall stretching upward 60 feet.
During the 17th century, a smuggler named Jingling Geordie used this cave as a vantage point to spot incoming ships near the Black Middens.
Local folklore tells of Walter, who entered the cave on St John's Eve and discovered a golden bugle that opened a treasure-filled chamber.
The cave entrance remains partially blocked due to landslips from the 1880s, making access difficult through the steep zigzag path from above.
The cave features masonry construction with a 12-foot depth leading to additional chambers, suggesting human modification rather than natural formation.
