Leck Fell - Cave Systems

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:

    The whole cut impressed me as if it were a cave with its stalactites laid open to the light.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.
    —J.G. (James Graham)
