Hazards and Warnings
Warning 1 month ago
We have received notice (24th October 2024) that the walling on the stepped drops below the first pitch is coming loose and is unstable. The bottom bit of scaffolding is also loose. Visitors are encouraged to take additional care in this area and report to CNCC any further deterioration. UPDATE 24th November 2024: We received a report of a trip on this date who found three pieces of scaffold in this location having come away, another perched by not supported and cobbles coming away. A large rock also fell out from the roof here. The situation here is deteriorating. This warning has now been upgraded from a general warning to an immediate danger warning. All cavers visiting Shuttleworth Pot are urged to be extremely careful passing the scaffold climb beneath the first pitch and if in doubt about the safety of the area, to turn around.

Access
Book online
Advanced online booking is required. You can also email the booking seretary.
Access to this cave is available to everyone all year round, but must be booked prior to your trip to satisfy the landowner’s requirements for managed access (and out of courtesy to other cavers too). One booking may be made per cave entrance per day. The CNCC has created a simple online booking system to allow individuals to book access to this (and other) caves using an intuitive calendar-based approach.
Note: First time users will need to register before being able to log into the system. The process should be self-explanatory but if you have any questions please email our system administrator via the address below.
Bookings made via the online system are live immediately.
Anyone wishing to book access without using the online system can do so by emailing the system administrator. Please include details of which cave you would like to book and what date:
booking@cncc.org.uk
Please note that if you are arranging your booking by email, rather than via the online system, you MUST wait for confirmation from the system administrator that your chosen date is available and the booking has been finalised BEFORE visiting the cave. Please allow two weeks’ notice in the eventuality the administrator is on holiday.
