Ingleborough Cave is a show cave close to the village of Clapham, North Yorkshire, England adjacent to where the water from Gaping Gill resurges.

It has many unusual stalactites and stalagmites, such as the Jockey's Cap, the Elephant and the Reflective City.

Beyond the show cave, the main stream emerges from a sump at Terminal Lake, which has been connected by divers to Gaping Gill, and eventually flows into Lake Pluto which has been connected by divers to Beck Head Stream Cave.

A connection has also been made with Fox Holes, a cave near Trow Gill.

A small stream in the show cave drops into a rift called the Abyss. An underwater connection has been made between the passage at the bottom and Clapham Beck Head, the resurgence for the Gaping Gill water,
