Description
The entrance to the cave is found in a public garden, the Rock House Garden, a protected "triple Site of Scientific Interest," so designated by English Nature. The first part is open to the public, and contains several plants or lichens. The public section ends in a barrier, beyond which is a shaft. After the shaft a tight passage leads to some cave formations and a dead end.
Flora and fauna
The cave is home to Belba pulveruleuta, a mite.
