Cave Systems
A number of important cave systems have been known and explored since the 1930s on Leck Fell, many of which have been linked below the water table by cave diving. These include:
- Lost John's Cave
- Rumbling Hole
- Notts Pot
- Short Drop Gavel
- Ireby Fell Cavern
A formal permitting system operates for access to the caves, with no caving allowed in April, May and June.

Famous quotes containing the words cave and/or systems:
“If the sea were ink
For the words of my Lord,
the sea would be spent before the Words of my Lord are spent.”
—Qur’An. The Cave 18:109, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
