Badger Hole is a small cave no more than 5m long by 3m wide situated about 20m up the west face of Warton Crag. Excavations have uncovered items from a number of eras including Late Upper Paleolithic, and Roman. The earliest finds consisted of stone artifacts but no animal remains.
Access is via New Rd from Warton to Silverdale, after passing the caravan park & old lime kiln there is a layby on the right, the cave is found by a short but steep scramble up the bank above the layby.
