Rising Cave
Access The entrance is best found by using the path to Ogof Capel and then carrying on across the gulley, down below the cliff for some 20m to an old ladder on the wall. It can also be reached by climbing the slope from the river.
Description Excavated for its entire length. A single passage leads to a choke. This choke was dug to give dry access to Ogof Capel. Ogof Capel is gated in the boulder choke a few metres after the connection with Ogof Gelynnen.
