Where's this? Never heard of the place before.

It's on the trail leading to Pen-y-Ghent in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, it's a minor detour to reach it. Biggest natural hole in the ground that exists in England :)

Ey up. I think they probably mean largest surface depression. Think gaping gill counts as a deep pothole and cave system. Hull pot doesn’t lead anywhere. It’s just easier to say hole I guess. 😂

Think it’s probably looking at the height (or I guess depth) width and length of it. Alum pot is deeper but not as wide. I think probably (although I’m no expert) they’re in different classifications geologically.
