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.
Fair Bottom Caves (three separate entrances) are on land owned by Scales Farm, but are on Access Land just off the Pennine Way, so no permission is required.
Parking suggested for free at Alum Pot green lane at Selside and then 3km approach by footpath along Coppy Gill via Low Birkwith Farm.
Alternatively CNCC has an arrangement with Low Birkwith Farm to allow cavers to park there for a fee. The track to Low Birkwith Farm is on left just before High Birkwith. Park in front of the stone barn wall where the black honesty box is attached. Pay £5 for cars or £15 for minibuses into an envelope or similar (visitor to provide) and note your registration number on the front and post it into the honesty box. No need to call at the farm, but say hello if you see or meet anyone. From there it is less than 1 km to most of the High Birkwith caves via the footpath starting just next to Coppy Gill.
