Lancashire

Lancashire is a ceremonial county in North West England, at the coast of the Irish Sea. The west are flat coastal plains with no underground sites, the east are the hills of the Pennines. The Pennines are also called the "backbone of England", as they run north to south for some distance. They consist mainly of an anticline of Carboniferous limestone overlain with Millstone Grit. Where it is exposed, the limestone is karstified and has numerous large caves. One of those areas is in the northwest of Lancashire, the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape, characterized by its limestone pavements. The caves are all daylight shafts, vertical shafts, and thus not accessible for tourists.
