Swallow Hole

Swallow Hole

What is a swallow hole? A swallow hole is a place where a stream or river disappears underground into limestone rock.

A swallow hole is a place where the ground literally swallows up a stream. Swallow holes (which some people call potholes) are on the top surface of rocks that allow water to pass through. Mostly commonly these are limestones. The water dissolves the limestone, making the hole bigger.

Most swallow holes are the entrances to cave systems.

The place where the water comes out again is a spring (and geographers call a resurgence). That will be at, or close to, the bottom of the rock.

Water End Swallow Holes is a biological site of Special Scientific Interest in Hertfordshire , south-east England. Located in Welham Green and under the planning authority of Welwyn Hatfield District Council , it has an area of 11.3 hectares (27.9 acres). [1] [2]

The site covers more than fifteen swallet holes , the only ones in chalk which are a permanent feature of the landscape. Next to the holes is a swamp area of willow carr which is biologically important, and in deep water there is reed sweet-grass . The site also has areas of woodland and grassland. [1] From the sinkholes the waters become the River Colne .

There is access to the site from Station Road.

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook

Type to search for a spell, item, class — anything!
If a Creature with this special attack begins its turn with an opponent grappled in its mouth (see Grab), it can attempt a new Combat maneuver check (as though attempting to pin the opponent). If it succeeds, it swallows its prey, and the opponent takes bite Damage . Unless otherwise noted, the opponent can be up to one size category smaller than the swallowing Creature . Being swallowed causes a Creature to take Damage each round. The amount and type of Damage varies and is given in the creature's statistics. A swallowed Creature keeps the grappled condition, while the Creature that did the swallowing does not. A swallowed Creature can try to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon (the amount of cutting Damage required to get free is equal to 1/10 the creature's total hit points), or it can just try to escape the Grapple . The Armor Class of the interior of a Creature that swallows whole is normally 10 + 1/2 its natural armor bonus, with no modifiers for size or Dexterity . If a swallowed Creature cuts its way out, the swallowing Creature cannot use swallow whole again until the Damage is healed. If the swallowed Creature escapes the Grapple , success puts it back in the attacker's mouth, where it may be bitten or swallowed again.
Format : swallow whole (5d6 acid Damage , AC 15, 18 hp); Location : Special Attacks .
