Containing some of England's finest limestone scenery, the Yorkshire Dales is very popular as a destination for cavers wanting to explore the extensive caves and potholes that the geology of the area has created.
For the expert potholer, special attractions include the Gaping Gill system on the western flank of Ingleborough, Alum Pot, Mossdale Caverns and the Kingsdale Master System in Kingsdale near Ingleton - to name but a few. The area also includes the Lancaster Pot and Easegill Caverns System - with over 70 km of known passages this is currently believed to be the longest and most complex cave system in Britain (!)
For the more casual visitor, special show caves which are open to the public include White Scar Caves near Ingleton, Ingleborough Cave in Clapdale near Clapham, and Stump Cross Caverns near Pateley Bridge.
