Mining has changed some landscapes in a surprising way and in certain places it could be said that even magical, as it happens with Las M\u00e9dulas in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another of those magical places is in Cumbria<\/strong>, the north-western region of England that borders Scotland. That place is known as Cathedral Quarry<\/strong> (Cathedral de la Cantera) or Cathedral Cave (Cueva de la Cantera). It is an old slate mine that dates back to the 16th century<\/strong>, and which today is preserved as a fascinating place to visit. This cavern is famous because in 1929 it was bought by Beatrix Potter<\/strong>, a famous British writer of children's stories and creator of the character Peter Rabbit.<\/p>\n

Before his death in 1943, Potter bequeathed this cave to the National Trust<\/strong>, a British conservation organization that maintains hundreds of monuments, gardens and natural sites in the UK. This cave is completely free to visit.<\/strong> This Friday, Eastwood's Adventures <\/a> has published an interesting video showing this fascinating cavern and its surroundings:<\/p>\n
