I know very little about this site. A spring flows out of a small cave and across the footpath to join the main river below. An overhanging tree has been lavishly decorated with ribbons and the cave walls are crowded with offerings. These are recent customs.
I remember often walking here as a youngster in the 1980s. There were no such things here then and I thought it to be a mine adit. I would welcome anyone who knows anything about it to add their comments here.
