Access

On the north side of Farnsley Lane, just below the Cavendish Mill yards. Access arrangements are currently uncertain, due to the recent (2023) closure of Cavendish Mill.

WARNING: Several sections of the cave, including on the main route, include large loose rocks that were last secured in the 90's. Great care should be taken, or ideally shoring installed.
