Priest's Hole



This weekend we stayed in an excellent camping spot - Priest's Hole just below Dove Crag on the eastern fells in the Lake District. It is more of a large overhang than a cave. But it is totally sheltered from the wind and has great views of the valley below. The hole sleeps up to 11 or 12 people. It is a regular spot for hikers and a good alternative to the expensive and rule excessive camp site below. Previous guests have left roll mats and basic supplies so if you forget anything, you'll be ok. The trail up to the cave is a little tricky but worth it.
