Millican Dalton made a home of the mysterious cavern in Borrowdale after he moved to the countryside for a more peaceful life
A mysterious cave hidden away in the Lake District hills was the beloved home of a man for nearly 30 years after he moved to the countryside to escape the big city. Many hikers would likely bypass the unassuming cavern in Borrowdale without a second thought but the special spot has a fascinating history.
He decided to move to the Lake District permanently in the 1920s, moving into a disused split-level quarried cave in Borrowdale, Cumbria. The creative adventurer lived a happy life inside the cave. which is situated in the eastern flank of Castle Crag, for nearly four decades. Millican spoke to a newspaper in 1941, aged 73, about how he never felt "lonely" as he was completely in tune with nature, which was the best company of all. He said: "I don’t sleep much, and while I am awake I lie and listen and think.
The cave is remote yet nearby to fresh water and offers good shelter from the elements which clearly appealed to Millican. To this day, visitors to the historical home can find a message carved inside on the walls by the free-spirited philosopher which reads 'don't Waste Worrds , Jump to Conclusions'.
