Hull Pot, on the western side of Pen-y-Ghent, is a collapsed cavern, and an impressive hole measuring 91m (300ft) long by 18m (60ft) deep.

In the late 18th century, in a guidebook published, it was called 'a Hulpit', and the author stated that it "would have appeared like the inside of an enormous old Gothic castle, the high ruinous walls of which were left standing after the roof was fallen in".

Hiking

A great little spot for a picnic of the main track of the three peaks walk, it used to be on the old version over Horton moor. View this any time of year, it's a particularly good sight after heavy rain. Just be warned that when walking towards it from the 3 peaks trail, the pot can creep up on you pretty quick.
