Lost John's Cave is the most extensive cave system on Leck Fell, North Yorkshire, England. With its four major vertical routes ("Old Roof Traverse", "New Roof Traverse", "Dome Route", and "Centipede Route") it is a popular place to practice SRT because of the opportunity for exchange trips. Also it can be safely visited on wet days because many of the pitches can be rigged out of the water.

All routes on Battleaxe Streamway. From here the usual route is to shuffle along "Battleaxe Traverse" at a high level, protected by rope, until the canyon becomes too wide, and descend a safe distance from the water. From here a short passage leads to "Groundsheet Junction" where the "Leck Fell Master Cave" is entered.

Upstream leads to Lost Pot, Lyle Caverns and a second entrance from Boxhead Pot.

Downstream leads through several neck deep pools past several inlets, including one from Rumbling Hole to a sump which after 800m connects to Pippikin Pot.
