SD4484 : Beck Head rising
taken 8 years ago, near to Mill Side, Cumbria, England
Beck Head rising
A charming stream rising which gives the scatter of cottages at Beck Head its name. It was explored in 1994 by the Cave Diving Group 'at right end of cliff low passage leads to 0.6m high and 1m wide submerged bedding. Upstream is a squeeze at 90m and a partial choke at 130m' ('Northern Caves 3', Dalesman Pub Co Ltd, 1994). The water probably drains from Whitbarrow, the big limestone hill above to the north. One possible feeder may be
SD4487 : Wakebarrow Pot entrance, Whitbarrow which, if connected, would yield a cave system of around 125m in depth.
