AN ENTRY FROM THE CAVE DATABASE FOR DERBYSHIRE

Derbyshire - Castleton Catchment
Townhead Cave


Grid Ref: SK160845

Description:

Legendary small pot which is difficult to find. Some locals have stood over the entrance and shown others it in front of their noses, only for them to claim there is no entrance there. The pot to those who can see it is a 6m pitch. What lies at the bottom is unknown. Anyone who has been down the hole has never been seen again. Stranger still is the fact that no matter how strong the lamp used, nothing can be seen further than 6m down, only darkness. The combination of this and only a small number of people being able to see the hole has led to the belief that it is either some form of passage to hell, giving it the nickname 'The Devil's Pot'


Its a new one on me
