Cave length: 35 m
Entrance: SY 70325 72368 (50.55032, -2.42021)
Location
Location
Park at the ventilation tower on the cliff top behind the Young Offenders Institute at the Grove. Take the footpath heading North down over the cliff. A few metres down the path, shortly after passing through a gate, clamber around the end of a fence on the right and follow a path (concreted in places) back south along the underside of the upper cliff. The cave entrance is found in the back corner of a recess amongst bushes marking the end of the path.
Description
Description
The rift is followed as walking passage with a concrete floor until a 1 m climb is reached fronted with a wooden pallet. Soon after it is necessary to climb up through delicately wedged boulders to reach a small chamber formed at a cross rift. Left has been dug but found to be extremely unstable, right pinched out immediately and ahead a small, very loose breakdown chamber is found after a short crawl.
Trip time - approx. 10 mins.
