In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Yordas Cave like this:
YORDAS CAVE, a stalactitic cavern in the NW of W. R. Yorkshire; in the SW side of Whernside mountain, 4½ miles N by E of Ingleton. Its entrance is a rude arch, closed by a door; and its interior expands into an apartment, 180 feet long and 60 feet high, and leads thence, by a narrow passage, into a circular chamber.
Yordas Cave is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Yordas Cave itself, go to Statistics.
