Visitors to a Peak District beauty spot left behind graffiti tags which had to be cleaned.

Paint and etchings, including two names - Shal and Noah - were left scrawled on the walls and floor of Robin’s Hood Cave on Stanage Edge, near Hope Valley.

On Saturday, a team of five volunteers and Peak District National Park rangers had to visit the site to remove the damage.

The park shared the hard work of volunteers on social media in good humour, and said they all deserved “an extra flagon of Sherwood ale”.

I get it, I do. We all want to make a mark on life, for others to be impacted in some way by our existence. Some people build, or create and their legacy is bound up into what they make. But destruction and desecration are far easier routes to making an impact on others. When you have no hope, fucking shit up is a way to stamp your existence on a society which otherwise ignores and marginalises you.

Plus, also, some people just want to tag the world.
