Jingling Pot is a popular vertical cave in West Kingsdale, Yorkshire, located on the slopes of Wherneside mountain. It measures approximately 145 feet in depth and presents explorers with two descent options. One route is a direct abseil down the main shaft, offering significant exposure and dramatic views. Alternatively, cavers can enter the Lateral Cleft via a traverse a short distance from the entrance. The Lateral Cleft involves a series of shorter vertical drops that eventually merge with the main shaft's route. Historically, a swing across a gap was used to access the Cleft, but this is no longer advised due to tree and rock instability. The dry conditions of the cave are notable, with the stream that originally formed it now diverting elsewhere except during heavy rainfall. A unique characteristic of Jingling Pot is its grassy entrance, which attracts sheep that sometimes fall into the pit, leaving their remains at the bottom. The main shaft leads to a narrow rift that descends into another chamber where the initials of the Yorkshire Ramblers Club from their 1897 exploration are inscribed. Remarkably, the Lateral Cleft was only discovered much later, in 1969.
