Ease Gill
Ease Gill is a small valley in the Yorkshire Dales. Ease Gill cuts the moors between Casterton Fell on the west and Leck Fell and Ireby Fell on the east.
The Ease Gill valley carries the waters of Leck Beck, parts of which feed the Ease Gill Caverns cave system which lies beneath the moors. It is currently believed to be the largest and most complex cave system in Great Britain.
Ease Gill Kirk is a steep sided, sheltered limestone ravine found towards the lower end of Ease Gill. It contains waterfalls and several entrances to the Ease Gill Caverns system.
