Bar Pot, Limestone cave in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England
Bar Pot extends through two vertical shafts reaching a depth of 104 meters within the Carboniferous limestone formations of Ingleborough mountain.
The British Speleological Association discovered Bar Pot in 1949, initiating excavations that cleared boulder blockages to reveal extensive underground passages.
The Lancaster University Speleological Society conducted detailed mapping of Bar Pot in 1980, establishing it as a research site for geological studies.
Access to Bar Pot requires advance online registration through the Council for Northern Caving Community and suitable caving equipment for vertical descents.
The cave features a distinctive entrance sequence with a narrow 13-meter pitch followed by the Greasy Slab formation leading to Bridge Hall.
