Snowdon Cave 2

Chard.

This cave, situated at the edge of an area of rocks (presumably an old quarry) lies about 50 metres west of the Main Cave and appears to of natural origin although there are shot holes above the entrance. A tight squeeze over clay leads into a low tunnel ending in a 1.5 metre high chamber at the far end of which daylight can be seen from a surface collapse. Just inside the entrance on the left is a small dome shaped chamber which appears to have an unsupported clay roof.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: These notes are from observations made over 45 years ago. In 2011 soil creep appeared to have blocked the entrance although this is very recent as the cave has been the subject of an annual bat count by Somerset Wildlife Trust
