Access
No restrictions
No permission is required. Please be courtous to land owners and follow an reasonable requests they make. Park with respect and don't block gateways etc.
In the January 2018 Committee meeting the CNCC made the decision to opt-out of a long-standing access agreement with Langcliffe Estate covering Penyghent Pot, Psilomelane Pot, Dale Head Pot, and other small caves in between these around the south side of Penyghent.
These caves are all located on access land covered by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which at the very least enables access to the cave entrances on foot. Furthermore, the land has tax-exempt heritage status which we believe provides public access into the caves.
The CNCC has not been made aware of any restrictions that should compromise access to these caves.
Groups are advised to use public footpaths from either Brackenbottom or Dale Head to reach the access land as shown on Ordnance Survey, observe the Countryside Code, be courteous to any farmers or gamekeepers you may meet, and to report to the CNCC if you encounter any access or conservation issues during your visit.
