A roomy shelter, pierced by a large skylight. It lies high up on the west side of the gorge, 140m south of the Leigh Woods Abutment. Inside, two passages lead off but soon finish. It was briefly a show cave, and the remains of an old handrail can still be seen above the entrance. The cave, which sadly contains copious amounts of graffiti, is now securely fenced.
