CLAPHAM is a sweet village, about four miles south of Ingleton,
on the Settle road. About a mile and a half from hence is a
cavern, which, for magnitude and beauty, is second to none in the
British dominions. It may be visited on application to Mr. J.
Harrison, the guide, who resides near the church. The walk to it
is delightful, the road leading through the pleasure grounds of
Ingleborough, the residence of J. W. Farrer, Esq., Master in
Chancery. The path lies for a short distance on the margin of a
small artificial lake, and then turning to the left, enters a
deep valley surrounded by lofty, precipitous hills, abounding in
tremendous scars.
