Access

No permission required as the cave and route of approach are on access land. 

The land is owned by Yockenthwaite Farm. The farmer is very caver friendly, but is concerned about sheep theft, and the presence of unknown vehicles after dark, combined with lights on the fell, can raise alarm. Cavers parking in the Yockenthwaite Farm area - particularly cavers with vans - who are entering or exiting in the dark may wish to consider a friendly call/note to the farm just to put their mind at ease. 

For more information on this site search for ‘Black Sheep Sink White Rose Cave and Pothole Club’ as this cave was discovered/explored since the publication of the original Northern Caves 1 guidebook.
