Saint Roberts Cave, Also Called Saint Roberts Chapel, Approximately 120 Metres South West Of Grimbald Bridge

Saint Robert's Cave, also known as Saint Robert's Chapel, is located approximately 120 metres south west of Grimbald Bridge. This site features a cave and the foundations of an adjoining chapel or outbuildings, which are associated with Saint Robert the hermit, who lived from 1160 to 1218, although there are no datable features present. The foundations include a rectangular building with a grave recess, a rock-cut bench, and steps. The entrance to the cave is situated between the bench on the left and the steps on the right.

To enter the cave, one descends two steps into an outer and inner chamber. The walls and roof of the cave are adorned with niches and inscriptions. At the time of the last survey, the cave contained 30 centimetres of water, and the building foundations were overgrown. The cave is linked to the legendary hermit Robert Flower and was previously known as Saint Giles' Chapel. Robert's brother, Walter, who was the Mayor of York, commissioned craftsmen to construct a chapel of hewn stone in honour of the Holy Cross, along with a house for Robert to receive pilgrims and the poor. This site is believed to date back to that period.

The cave gained popularity as a tourist attraction following the discovery in 1746 of the body of Daniel Clark, whose murder led to the hanging of Eugene Aram in 1759. This event inspired Lord Lytton's novel published in three volumes in 1832.
