Burnhill Cave

Burn Hill, Milverton.

Cave is a deep rift entered at the base of a low cliff. A steep descent over dead leaves leads to a 5 metre long shallow pool. Rubbish at the far end suggests a now blocked second entrance. The pool can be partially bypassed by a climb over boulders to a higher level in the rift. There is a noticeable draught.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access by inquiring at Lower Lovelynch. In 2012 this was achieved by using the call system at the prominent gates at the entrance to the drive to Lower Lovelynch. The cave is located 100 metres along the drive on the left behind a muck heap in a small disused quarry.
