Flood Entrance Pot, Natural cave in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Description
Flood Entrance Pot is a cave in North Yorkshire that descends through a steep drop to connect with the Gaping Gill system underground. The entrance leads to passages and chambers that form part of a larger network of caverns beneath the landscape.
History
Cavers discovered this entrance during early 20th century exploration of the underground landscape. The find helped scientists understand the structure and connections of the larger cave system.
Culture
The Lancaster University Speleological Society documented the cave structure in 1980, contributing to the scientific understanding of British underground formations.
Practical
Access requires caving experience and proper equipment such as helmets and lights. Visitors should consult with local caving clubs or experienced guides before attempting the descent.
Did you know?
The entrance remains accessible when the main opening of the Gaping Gill system becomes impassable from flooding. This makes it a valuable alternative route for cavers during wet periods.
