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:
“While yet a boy I sought for ghosts, and sped
Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
And starlight wood, with fearful steps pursuing
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
