    One of Britain’s largest underground chambers, Gaping Gill is a spectacular sight. Fell Beck plummets spectacularly into the chasm, to reappear some way down the hillside at Ingleborough Cave. Take care and don’t get too close, as there are no barriers guarding the entrance.

      Well worth the slight detour from the traditional route up Ingleborough. Gaping Gill is a huge natural pot hole — one of the deepest in UK. Try to avoid the period between April and August, as there are many local clubs that set up camp round the area to go down and explore. Obviously, if that's your thing then investigate further.
