Queen Victoria had many things named after her, but Settle's Victoria Cave is surely one of the more unusual. The massive opening gapes in the vertical cliff and you'd wonder how anyone could miss it until the year of her Coronation, but the large entrance is due to over-zealous archaeologists in the 1870s. Here is a landscape of dramatic limestone scars, picturesque villages, thundering waterfalls and riverside footpaths - the Yorkshire Dales at its very best.
