There are 2,500 caves in the Dales - but there could be even more undiscovered caves
A caver crawls through the final boulder choke of Newby Moss cave, one of many in the Yorkshire Dales. Photo Dave WilliamsAaron, 25, outlines how many people have speculated that there is an underground system around the Newby Moss area, a system with the potential to be the deepest traversable network in the Dales.
“I know that there is a lot of notable cavers and scientists who have long speculated a master cave’s existence so to find an answer would prove a long-held theory.”The idea of the existence of the cave came to light in the 1950s, sparking a race amongst cavers to find a way into the cavern. Honorary president of the International Union of Speleology Andy Eavis says: “I categorically, definitely believe there is a master cave under Ingleborough.”
The master cave “could potentially be quite big, the area has been extremely affected by glaciation". Dr Faulkner, an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham, explains that the possible origin of the cave is due to “the south end of Ingleborough [being] different from the western flank, it is more tectonically controlled by earth movements, creating fractures”.
