The Yorkshire landscape is a fantastic place to explore underground with a visit to a show cave.
Here are seven which make for a great day out.
One of the longest and most complex systems in the UK with Fell Beck connecting to Ingleborough Cave. Twice a year members of the Bradford and Skipton Pothole Clubs set up a winch to lower people in the chamber.
A great family show cave, the underground system was discovered in 1860 by miners looking for lead seams. Visitors can see a great selection of stalactites and stalagmites which have formed into amazing shapes.
A guided tour of Britains longest show cave reveals some astonishing features. The mile-long tour takes in the Carrots stalactites, which are orange due to the iron content.
