Rising Cave
Access The rising is to be found on the South West side of Llanrhidian Churchyard, just by the stile in the churchyard wall.
Description The water resurges in a clay bank, but on the left hand side of the path, by the stile, is a fairly tight pothole about 6 metres deep, leading to water.
History
Hydrology This is a small resurgence, connected with at least Llanrhidian Quarry Cave and Stonyford Sink, and 24% input from sinks in summer.
