Jib Tunnel, Natural cave in Yorkshire Dales, England
The entrance to Jib Tunnel lies between a rock wall and a large boulder, leading to the expansive Gaping Gill cave system.
A flood in 1872 removed glacial deposits blocking the entrance, allowing Professor McKenny Hughes to document the initial discovery of this underground passage.
The tunnel forms part of the Ingleborough Site of Special Scientific Interest, representing geological formations within the Yorkshire landscape.
Visitors need advance online reservations through the Council for Northern Caving Community to access the tunnel and receive safety instructions.
The passage descends 98 meters through Lateral Shaft into the Main Chamber, creating a direct route into the underground network.
