Thrupe Lane Swallet (grid reference ST603458 geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset , notified in 1992. It is also a Geological Conservation Review site.
The name Thrupe Lane comes from the nearby hamlet of Thrupe, which in Anglo-Saxon meant dairy farm .[2]
The swallet is a small, single pothole cave system that is dominated by a series of deep (117 metres (384 ft )) and mainly vertical passages, which follow fault lines, natural joints in the rock and mineral veins.[3] Mendip Hills , Atlas Pot, which is 60 metres (197 ft ) deep.[4] Bishop's Palace in Wells .[5]
Thrupe Lane Swallet was first entered in 1974 following digging by three caving groups. The entry shaft has been blasted open to ensure a stable entrance.[6]
