About Settle
Settle is a small market town in North Yorkshire, England, although historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Located in Ribblesdale, the town lies at the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, and is best known for its railway station which is at the southern end of the scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway.
The district includes several caves where prehistoric remains have been found, the most notable being Victoria Cave, so called because it was discovered on Queen Victoria's coronation day in 1838. Victoria Cave contained remains of mammoth, bear, reindeer and hippopotamus as well as stones, flint, bone and other implements and ornaments. The discovery of flint is noteworthy since it is not a substance that is found naturally in the area; it would probably have been used for arrowheads.
