Wall carvings in Lacy's Caves in the Eden Valley, Cumbria, UK

---

Lacy's Caves, carved into a sandstone cliff above the River Eden, near Little Salkeld in Cumbria. In the 18th Century, Colonel Lacy of Salkeld Hall carved five chambers out of the sandstone cliffs by the River Eden in Little Salkeld. It was fashionable to have romantic ruins at that time, or they may have been built as a wine store. Colonel Lacy used to entertain guests here, and the area was planted with gardens. The rhododendrons and laburnams still flower every spring.
