Caves
There is some of the finest limestone scenery in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and as such, it is a hugely popular choice for people wanting to explore the extensive caves and potholes in the area. Sedbergh, in Cumbria and near the Lake District is an ideal place to base yourself for exploring them.
For visitors wanting a great day out with the family or friends, then there are show caves which are open to the public. White Scar Caves near Ingleton, Ingleborough Cave in Clapdale near Clapham, and Stump Cross Caverns near Pateley Bridge are all options for you.
For experienced and expert cavers a challenge will include the Gaping Gill system on the western flank of Ingleborough, Alum Pot, Mossdale Caverns and the Kingsdale Master System in Kingsdale near Ingleton. The Easegill Caverns System - with over 70 km of known passages - is currently believed to be the longest and most complex cave system in Britain.
Whether you're a caving enthusiast, or you're just interested in a day out, there are many options for you to choose from to enjoy the extensive caves and caving systems in this area.
