Short Drop Cave–Gavel Pot system

Short Drop Cave and Gavel Pot are different entrances into the same cave system on Leck Fell, in Lancashire, England. The main top entrance, Short Drop Cave, is a small hole in a fenced-off shakehole near the main stream sink. Gavel Pot, a window into the system, is a large fenced shakehole some 40-metre (130 ft) deep, requiring tackle to descend. Two other smaller entrances also lead into Short Drop Cave. At its base, the system links via a sump with Lost Johns' Cave and is part of the Three Counties System, an 87 kilometres (54 mi) cave system that spans the borders of Cumbria, Lancashire, and North Yorkshire.
