This is a great cave to explore. It is quite deep and narrow, resembling a long thin corridor, which opens out into a small chamber at the end. Small Stalactites can be seen forming on the roof of the cave. A torch is required after the first few feet as it is very dark. It is also a bit wet underfoot and so suitable footwear would be advisable.

A fab little cave which apparently extends some 50m into the hillside! It is wet underfoot in places and you'll definitely need a torch.

Dead-end tunnel about 30m long, a man-made passageway created for lead mining exploration many years ago. About halfway down it gets a couple of inches deep in water, OK in waterproof Boots. There are some random stepping stones to help and it's dry towards the end. The torch on your phone is adequate to find your way along.
