Hospice edit

The article mentions the cairn at the top as being a 'hospice'. However I can't find any mention online of a hospice as being anything other than a place of palliative end-of-life care. Is there a 2nd meaning? It's not referenced in wikipedia's own disambiguation page for hospice. WillSmith (talk) 22:03, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, "hospice" is probably the wrong word. This site says "Situated near the edge of the plateau on the Ingleton side are the foundations of a building. Built as a ‘hospice tower’ for grouse shooters it was destroyed in 1830 during the drunken celebrations to marks its opening." Don't have time to correct it now.

Caves edit

'Actually this is merely the roof of a large cave system 600 feet below, with entrances at White Scar Cave and Skirwith Cave, both of which are show caves.'

- Skirwith Cave and White Scar Cave are not connected, they are separate caves sysems as far as I know. Anyone know if a hydrological link has been found? - Skirwith is not a show cave anymore, it was closed in 1974. It can still be accessed and traversed well inside, passing interesting remnants of the show cave, however.

I can confirm that is no hydrological or other type of connection between Skirwith Cave and White Scar cave. I'll change the article. Langcliffe (talk) 13:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Mountain edit

An anonymous user changed 'mountain' to 'peak' in the intro stating it wasn't a mountain. Its elevation is 723 m (2373 ft). This is over the UK definition of mountain - 610m. extraordinary (talk) 08:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Section on "View" edit

This section seems a little too extensive perhaps for the article? Pigetrational (talk) 19:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
