Rydal Cave, near Ambleside, Cumbria
Rydal Cave, near Ambleside, Cumbria

Rydal Cave, also known as Loughrigg Cave, is actually a former quarry working on the lower southern flank of Loughrigg Fell. It can be reached by a footpath from Grasmere to Ambleside. Just outside the cave are extensive spoil heaps and there is a another, less deep, cave a little further down the slope. The quarry produced good quality stone suitable for building work, the stone splitting in regular shaped blocks. The main cave has a fairly deep pool by the entrance but the interior, about 100 yards deep or so, can be accessed by stepping stones. I sketched the cave from the entrance, getting the basic information down quickly as it was fairly busy with many families queuing to use the stepping stones, and added a bit more ecolour and linework from memory while having a cup of tea at the end of our walk. The drawing fills half a page in my A5 size Moleskine sketchbook.
