Langcliffe Pot

Langcliffe Pot is a cave system on the slopes of Great Whernside in Upper Wharfedale, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) SSE of Kettlewell in North Yorkshire. It is part of the Black Keld Site of Special Scientific Interest where the "underground drainage system which feeds the stream resurgence at Black Keld is one of the largest and deepest in Britain, although only a small proportion of its cave passages are accessible at present." Mossdale Caverns is also part of the Black Keld SSSI. Although a considerable length of passage has been explored in Langcliffe Pot, the current end is over 170 metres (560 ft) above the resurgence, and over 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) in distance. A trip to the far end has been described as "one of the most serious undertakings in British caving".

Black Keld Catchment is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. It is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) southeast of the village of Kettlewell, to the east of Wharfedale. This protected area includes major cave systems (Langcliffe Pot and Mossdale Caverns) and this protected area encompasses parts of Conistone Moor and Grassington Moor. This area is protected because of the unusual geology of the underground cave systems. Black Keld Catchment SSSI is adjacent to Upper Wharfedale SSSI, and so forms part of a wider area of nature protection.

Fold Farmhouse

Fold Farmhouse is a historic building in Kettlewell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The farmhouse lies in the village centre and was originally built in the late 15th century. It was originally an open hall house, probably owned by St Mary's Church, Kettlewell. In the 17th century, the timber framed building was encased in limestone, and it was altered in the 19th century, the work including replacing the windows. A porch was added in the 20th century, and the building was grade II* listed in 1989. It is noted for its elaborate roof structure, which is similar to those at Horbury Hall and Liley Hall, both in West Yorkshire. The building has been encased in limestone, and has quoins and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and five bays, the second bay projecting, and at the rear is a semicircular stair turret. The windows vary and include a fire window, a circular window and mullioned windows, and most are later sashes and casements. Inside, it is now divided into rooms, the central ground floor room having an 18th-century fireplace, and there is a stone newel staircase.
