Other caves

Photos by Ian Wilton-Jones, Peter Wilton-Jones, Tarquin, and others. Edits and gallery effects by Tarquin.

This gallery contains pictures of various caves, where I do not have enough to deserve a dedicated gallery for that cave. If I get more pictures for some of them, I may move them into their own gallery.

Pant Mawr Pot

This is a compliment to Steve's gallery (which shows some of the stunning formations in the cave).

1. The Sabre, and surrounding curtains
2. Under the longest curtain (yes, that would be me, many years ago)
3. Some of the impressive stalactite displays
4. Stalactites
5. Stalactite clump
6. Stalactite pod

Agen Allwedd

I cannot be certain, but these appear to be pictures of Agen Allwedd. The pictures probably date from the 1980s.

1. Stream passage, exact location unknown, but probably the Main Streamway
2. This appears to be Priory Road, just after the sharp bend

Chartists Cave

Chartists Cave is only half a kilometre in length, with some large complex passages. For a while in 1839, its entrance porch and passage was used as a hiding place by the leaders of the Chartists uprising. They chose it, not because of its comfortable and spacious interior, but because of its obscure location. It is miles from anywhere, in the middle of a wide moorland, without any proper landmarks, and is difficult to find, even when you know where it is, and have been there before. It is even possible to miss the entrance when standing just a few metres from it.

1. The entrance to Chartists Cave - the historical landmark plaque is just about visible on the left of the arch

Rhino Rift

1. Rigging the traverse
2. Still rigging ...
3. And finally descending

Ogof Gofan

1. The entrance to Ogof Gofan, part way down a sea cliff
2. The main chamber in Ogof Gofan - sadly the picture is unrecoverably dark, so the pool in the floor is invisible
