Hurtle Pot, Chapel-le-Dale in the Yorkshire Dales.
Hurtle Pot is a 64m deep pothole with an underground ’lake’, popular with cave divers. It links with the 2.4km Jingle Pot system of passages. After heavy rain, the waters can be heard deep below ground and these sounds led to rumours that the pot was inhabited by a boggard.

CHAPEL-LE-DALE 06A - The Statue
The Statue, Chapel-le-Dale, Yorkshire Dales.
The statue of a tree sprite was sculpted by the Scandinavian artist, Charles l’Anson.
The statue was purchased by the Swedish Consul, Torsten Bailey, who had a great love of trees. He was responsible for much deciduous tree planting in the dale to encourage wildlife. This was seen as unusual in the 1970s because large block pine plantations for economic gain were popular then.
