Monks & Mysteries - Wetheral Caves Walk

There’s a lot on offer in the little village of Wetheral. Of course, there’s The Crown Hotel Leisure Club where our guests have complimentary access to the swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and gym facilities. There’s also The Crown Hotel’s dog friendly pub, as well as Fantails Restaurant and the village shop and café. Well worth a visit! But, did you know there’s also a lovely riverside walk along the river Eden to some caves?

The caves are man made and make for a fascinating visit. Catching a glimpse of Corby Castle on the other side of the river is interesting to see too.

The walk is an easy, family friendly walk and the “Monk’s & Mysteries” walk map route to follow can be downloaded here from Cumbria Tourism’s website

Park on the village green and walk the circular 3.5 mile route at your leisure! (The route can easily be shortened too if tired little legs are ready for back to the car, just miss out the last loop over the via duct into Great Corby.) Don't forget to stop off at the cafe next to the village shop for a pick me up afterwards!

Travel Distance: 8 Miles
Post Code: CA4 8ES (Village Shop & Village Green)
