Lacy's Caves
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lacy's Caves are a series of 5 chambers in the sandstone cliff of River Eden, just north of Little Salkeld, Cumbria, England (NY564383).
They are named after Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Lacy of Salkeld Hall, who comissioned their carving in the 18th century. The reason for their creation is unknown, however they were used by Lacy for entertaining guests and the area was originally planted with ornamental gardens.
The site is a listed Regionally Important Geological Site by Eden District Council and public footpaths to the site are well maintained. Situated close to Long Meg and Her Daughters and on a well known circular walk it is popular with walkers.
