Dragon's Eye Cave is a cave located in a remote area of West Lancashire county in northwest England that has gained some status among "urban explorers" or urban explorers. The cave is formed from an old abandoned mine shaft and at its center has an unusual feature known as the "dragon's eye." The eye looks spherical when light hits it in a certain way and resembles something associated with a J.R.R Tolkien novel.The exact location of the cave is known only to a few urban explorers who have exchanged exact coordinates between themselves and the local residents who carefully guard the area. The cave is accessible only through a window in the floor and a steep descent.Dan Dixon, another urban explorer and creator of the well-known YouTube channel "Exploring with fighters," visited Dragon's Eye twice last year and said it is one of the best places he has ever visited, within walking distance of where he lives.It is believed that local residents are interested in keeping the cave location a secret because of the dangerous conditions in the area, so its exact location remains a secret among a few individuals.
