The Three Counties

Ireby survey

Descent (215) carries a major article on the exploration of the Three Counties System in the north of England, including a survey overview of Ireby Fell Cavern, Rift Pot and Low Douk Cave. A portion of the survey is printed in full detail, but constraints of page area means that passage detail in the overview survey is reduced.

A fully detailed version that can be enlarged to see the detail it incorporates is held on the Cave Maps website: click anywhere on the above survey to link directly to the Ireby Fell Cavern page.
