Lancashire Police said a group of five people had come up from the south and entered a cave network in the area.

They had become separated and were not carrying mobile phones.

Three members of the group are missing.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: “No one knows whether they are in the cave or out.”

Lancashire Police are liaising with colleagues in Cumbria and North Yorkshire.
