COUNTY POT
   
County Pot is the most popular route into the extensive Easegill Caverns, over 30 miles (50km) of passage which include Pippilin Pot, Link Pot, Lancaster Hole, Bull Pot of the Witches and the many other entrances into this fascinating system. This system has been dived to Lost Johns Cave under Leck Fell in Lancashire adding another 6 miles (10km) to the total length.
About a mile (1.6km) from Bullpot Farm a short, easily climbable entrance shaft by Ease Gill beck leads into an entertaining, narrow twisting passage with a few awkward climbs before reaching the top of the First Pitch.  At 25 feet (8m) this leads to a short climb into the large passage of Broadway and Oxford Circus from where several routes lead off.  An interesting, short trip leads up to Spout Hall then Platypus Junction before returning via Razor Passage and back to Oxford Circus and Broadway.
Other routes lead to Lancaster Hole and a variety of exchange trips can be taken throughout this complex system.
Becoming lost is a hazard in Easegill Caverns and visitors should be accompanied by someone who is familiar with the route.
