Rowten Pot is one of several entrances into the West Kingsdale cave system in North Yorkshire, England. Its entrance is a shaft some long, wide, and at the southern end deep.〔 〕 ==Description== A stream enters from just below the surface at the northern end. The cave is largely vertical, but at the bottom the stream flows through a short section of passage into the underground West Kingsdale river. This connects downstream with the ''Kingsdale Master Cave'' through three short sumps.〔 Upstream, longer sumps may be followed up the valley for over , passing below the final pitch of Aquamole Pot.〔 〕 The cave is usually descended using single rope techniques, and is popular with cavers, being spacious and offering a variety of aerial routes.〔 〕 The three short sumps which connect to the Kingsdale Master Cave can be free-dived.〔 〕 The water which descends Rowten Pot sinks to the west of the pot on the other side of Turbary Road, into a shallow horizontal cave system, known as ''Rowten Caves''.〔 Other nearby caves which also connect to the West Kingsdale System include Swinsto Hole, Simpson Pot, Jingling Pot, Aquamole Pot and Valley Entrance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rowten Pot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
