Weathercote Cave, Solutional cave in Chapel-le-Dale, North Yorkshire, England.
Weathercote Cave features a 61-meter-long shaft with a 20-meter waterfall cascading through limestone formations and underground chambers connecting to other cave systems.
The cave gained recognition in 1751 when Richard Pococke documented its geological features, leading to its establishment as a tourist destination by 1781.
William Turner visited the site in 1808 and 1816, creating sketches that captured the natural elements of the cave during different weather conditions.
Access to the cave requires prior arrangements with property owners, and visitors must follow safety protocols due to potential hazards from wet conditions.
A massive boulder called Mohammed's Coffin remains suspended above the main waterfall, creating an unusual geological formation within the cave system.
