  1. Horseshoe Cave is just around the corner from Attermire Cave. Even so I missed it on my first visit!

    The floor of the passage quickly ascends until it reaches a 3m drop. Passages lead off on two levels.

    The lower passage is tight, muddy and wet. The upper passage leads through a crawl into a low chamber.

    There's a strong draft from a partially blocked passage in the chamber. Is it possible to force a way through?

  4. I'd love to go through a cave, but once it becomes so small I'm done.

  5. Just the kind of place I'm always fantasizing about finding just around the next corner. I like small spaces.

  6. Found your site via Entrecard.

    I love the shot from inside the cave to the outside. It makes me feel like I'm on a journey.

  7. You make me want to go there soooo bad. England is the one country I swear to visit once in my life. *sighs*

    This has been spotlighted at my blog! Thanks for a great post!

  8. There is a vocal connection with Attermire Cave, but the connection is rabbit-sized.
