Lesser Garth cave
Lesser Garth cave submitted by TauCeti : This is the view looking down from the cave; very slippery, very steep and downright dangerous Up here some stones on the rock face show distinct signs of having been rubbed as if by hands and feet going up and down.

Since stumbling across the old railway tunnel I've had a fascination with finding this cave, although if I did i'd probably be too scared to go in! I've heard rumours that the entry gate has been forced open and you can now access the cave easily... if you can find it of course! I was wondering if you could possibly post directions to this entrance from the pub below?
