New Goyden Pot

Hazards and Warnings

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Occasional scour tests are performed at Scar House Reservoir upstream of the Goyden/New Goyden/Manchester Hole system. This involves the release of water from the reservoir and can cause serious downstream flooding including the caves. Cavers are strongly advised to check the dates of future scour tests online (www.yorkshirewater.com/about-us/reservoir-scour-testing/#nidd), with the relevant dates being for Scar House Reservoir, typically twice per year. There is also a large blue sign at the start of the road to Scar House Reservoir warning of the next scour test date and the risks to anyone in the caves. Finally, be aware of the possibility that extremely strong winds can cause overtopping if the reservoir is very full which can cause flood pulses downstream.

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.

Updated March 2018: No need to call at any farms to visit New Goyden Pot. If travelling north from Lofthouse, it is recommended to park near a cluster of trees on the right, a few hundred metres north of the track to Thrope Farm (well before you reach Limley Farm), where a small stream crosses under the road. Follow downstream through the wood to locate a stile in the fence to reach the riverbed very close to Thrope Pot (obvious entrance with wooden lid). Approximately 20-30m further upstream is the entrance to New Goyden under a small scar.
