Latest update...
Volume 2 of this book has now been published on
paper. It is intended that the chapters of Volume 1 and Volume 2 will be made
available online before stocks of the printed books run out. The online
chapters of Volume 2 will be revised and updated when significant new
explorations make that appropriate. Meanwhile, three items are online
and can be downloaded from the links below.
The Outline file is a free download that lists the
contents in detail and also includes the index. Chapter 24 is presented as a
sample of the chapters in Volume 2, and is a free download for members of BCRA.
Chapter 25 is made available as a free download for everyone and as a
contribution towards understanding of the karst geomorphology of the Malham
area, which attracts wider interest from non-cavers.

books.
The editors would like to thank all the authors
and photographers for their contributions to this project over the past five
and more years.

A reference work for everyone from academic geographers to dedicated cave explorers This book - in two volumes - presents an overview of all aspects of the great cave systems and spectacular karst landforms in the limestone terrain of the Yorkshire Dales. Thirty-one authors, all experts in their fields, have produced authoritative and up-to-date texts, which have been drawn together by editors Tony Waltham and David Lowe, each of whom has extensive experience of the Dales, both above and below ground. Volume One, published in 2013, contains all the overview chapters covering individual aspects of the geomorphology, speleology and science relevant to the Yorkshire Dales. Volume Two, published in 2017, contains chapters that describe the major caves and a regional overview for each of 17 areas within and around the Yorkshire Dales karst. The book is aimed at anyone with a serious interest in the Dales, and that will include everyone from the academic geographers to the dedicated cave explorers.
