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

Unknown cave

Sorry, I do not remember what cave these are from, but I like the pictures, so here they are. They are probably Pant Mawr Pot again, but I am not certain. If you can identify the cave, please let me know.

  1. Stalactites
  2. Stalactite clump
  3. Stalactite pod

Another unknown cave

I also do not know what cave these are, but they look Welsh. The streamway might be Agen Allwedd, perhaps they both are. The pictures probably date from the 1980s, so they pre-date Draenen. If you can identify the cave(s), please let me know.

  1. Stream passage
  2. Arched passage

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
