Janet's Cave by munki-boy
Janet's Cave
Janet's Cave is in The Yorkshire Dales National Park in England.
The tiny cave beside Janet’s Foss waterfall in Malham that is said in local legend to have been home to a witch called Janet.
There’s really nothing much to see having traversed the slippery rocks on the South side of the small pool.
