| Description | From the lower entrance, a narrow passage gives access to a large chamber 'Davy Price's Hall' which is now a showcave. From here, via an airlock through the radon fan housing, the cave develops into a series of rifts and chambers up which it is possible to climb to reach the bottom of the shaft to the upper entrance (tunnel Top). | ||||
